A REFUSAL by BARNABY (BARNABE) GOOGE

First Line: SITH FORTUNE FAVORS NOT AND ALL THINGS BACKWARD GO
Last Line: FAREWELL, I WASTE NO VAINER WORDS. I HOPE FOR BETTER DAY.

Sith [since] Fortune favors not all things backward go,
And sith your mind hath so decreed to make an end of woe,
Sith now is no redress, but hence I must away,
Farewell, I waste no vainer words. I hope for better day.
