Edward Farr, ed. Select Poetry of the Reign of Queen Elizabeth. 1845.

Psalme XIII

VI. Sir Philip Sidney and the Countess of Pembroke

Usque quo, Domine?

HOW long, O Lord, shall I forgotten be?

What, ever?

How long wilt thou thy hidden face from me

Dissever?

How long shall I consult with carefull sprite

In anguish?

How long shall I with foes’ triumphant might

Thus languish?

Behold me, Lord; let to thy hearing creep

My crying:

Nay, give me eyes and light, least that I sleep

In dying:

Least my foe bragg, that in my ruyne he

Prevailed;

And at my fall they joy that, troublous, me

Assailed.

Noe! noe! I trust on thee, and joy in thy

Greate pitty:

Still, therefore, of thy graces shall be my

Song’s ditty.
