XXIII.

Heare us, O heare us Lord; to thee

A sinner is more musique, when he prayes, 200

Then spheares, or Angels praises bee,

In Panegyrique Allelujaes;

Heare us, for till thou heare us, Lord

We know not what to say;

Thine eare to'our sighes, teares, thoughts gives voice and word. 205

O Thou who Satan heard'st in Jobs sicke day,

Heare thy selfe now, for thou in us dost pray.
