Kill me not ev'ry day, br Thou Lord of life, since thy one death for me br Is more than all my deaths can be, br Though I in broken pay br Die over each hour of Methusalem's stay. br br If all men's tears were let br Into one common sewer, sea, and brine; br What were they all, compar'd to thine? br Wherein if they were set, br They would discolour thy most bloody sweat. br br Thou art my grief alone, br Thou Lord conceal it not: and as thou art br All my delight, so all my smart: br Thy cross took up in one, br By way of imprest, all my future moan.
