A Parody Annotated

Souls joy, when thou art gone,
And I alone,
Which cannot be,
Because thou dost abide with me,
And I depend on thee;

Yet when thou dost suppresse
The cheerfulnesse
Of thy abode,
And in my powers not stirre abroad,
But leave me to my load:

O what a damp and shade
Doth me invade!
No stormie night
Can so afflict or so affright,
As thy eclipsed light.

Ah Lord! do not withdraw,
Lest want of aw
Make Sinne appeare;
And when thou dost but shine lesse cleare,
Say, that thou art not here.

And thеn what life I have,
While Sinnе doth rave,
And falsly boast,
That I must seek, but thou art lost;
Thou and alone thou know’st.

O what a deadly cold
Doth me infold:
I half beleeve,
That Sinne sayes true: but while I grieve,
Thou com’st and dost relieve.
