SonnetXCII. Patrick Hanay
O F
The azurd vault and all the host of heauen,
The hils, vales, plaines, fresh streams, and brinie lake,
And vnto each inhabitants hast giuen:
O Word, which, for our sakes, did flesh become,
With sinners, to purge sinne, hadst habitation:
Crimeles accus’d, condemn’d, the crosse thy doome,
Sufferedst death, buriall, rose for our saluation:
O Holy Ghost, which doth from both proceed,
Sweet soule-inspiring spirit with peace and loue,
Comfort to all, cast down for sinfull deed,
Lessening their woes with hopes of heauen aboue:
O Trinall-One, one God and Persons Three,
Reform my waies, and draw me vnto thee.
