1922To seeke heauens ioy before earths vanitie.
1924leaue vs all.
1925Margret. Now farewell world the engin of all woe,
1926Farewell to friends and father, welcome Christ:
1927Adew to daintie robes, this base attire
1928Better befits an humble minde to God,
1929Than all the shew of rich abilliments,
1930Loue, oh Loue, and with fond Loue farewell,
1931Sweet Lacie whom I loued once so deere,
1932Euer be well, but neuer in my thoughts,
1934But euen to that as to the rest farewell.
