Original text and translations
English text
- Tosse not my soule, O love twixt hope and feare,
- Shew mee some ground where I may firmely stand or surely fall,
- I care not which apeare, So one will close me in a certaine band.
- When once of ill the uttermost is knowen,
- The strength of sorrow quite is over throwne.
- Take mee Assurance to thy blisfull holde,
- Or thou Despaire unto thy darkest Cell,
- Each hath full rest, the on in joyes en rolde,
- Th'other, in that hee feares no more, is well:
- When once of ill the uttermost is knowen,
- The strength of sorrow quite is over throwne.
