Gascoigne

A Hundreth Sundrie Flowres (1573)Sing lullabie, as women do,
Wherewith they bring their babes to rest;
And lullabie can I sing to,
As womanly as can the best.
"The Lullabie of a Lover", line 1; p. 272.



Full many wanton babes have I,
Which must be stilld with lullabie.
"The Lullabie of a Lover", line 7; p. 272.



The Raynbowe bending in the skye,
Bedeckte with sundrye hewes,
Is lyke the seate of God on hye,
And seemes to tell these newes:
That as thereby he promised,
To drowne the worlde no more,
So by the bloud whiche Christe hath shead,
He will oure health restore.
"Gascoignes Good Morrow", line 41; p. 287.
