An Exhortation to Pacience

CIV. H. C.


WHEN griping greefes do greeue the minde,
The meetest meanes that men may finde,
Which God and nature hath assignde,
Is pacience well applyde:
For pacience puts all paine to flight;	5
Yea, pacience makes the hart delight,
And doth revive eche dulled spright
By reason’s rule and guyde.
