I haue (have) sett (sit) downe [up^d] whence all theis (these) sibells [s-i-b] weare. //
What they foretold [fore-^tdeclared], or saw, we see, and heare,
and profett [^pbenefit] reape by all their prophesy. //
Would God I weare a Sibell [s-i-b] to divine [d-God]
in worthy vearse [^vsing] your lasting happynes [^hbliss]:
Then // only [one-ly] I should be characteress
of that, which worlds with wounder [^wmarwell] might defyne.
But // what need [ⁿscarce] I to wish [^wdesire], when [then^w] you are such,
of whose perfections none can write to (too) much.
