| Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun, | |
| Which was my sin, though it were done before? | |
| Wilt thou forgive that sin, through which I run, | |
| And do run still, though still I do deplore? | |
| When thou hast done, thou hast not done, | 5 |
| For I have more. | |
| | |
| Wilt thou forgive that sin which I have won | |
| Others to sin, and made my sin their door? | |
| Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun | |
| A year or two, but wallow'd in, a score? | 10 |
| When thou hast done, thou hast not done, | |
| For I have more. | |
| | |
| I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun | |
| My last thread, I shall perish on the shore; | |
| But swear by thyself, that at my death thy Son | 15 |
| Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore; | |
| And, having done that, thou hast done; | |
| I fear no more. | |
