| Torments to heare another sadly groane | C |
| I were most happy in my paines to be | D |
| So truely blest to be so curst by thee | D |
| But oh my cries to that doe rather adde | E |
| Of which too much already thou hast had | E |
| And thou art gladly sad to heare my moane | C |

| I shall be forc't unto my sepulcher | M |
| Or violently hurl'd into my urne | C |
| Oh make me choose rather to freeze than burne | C |
