Penance in a Black Pit
     Witness dear readers the tears I shed,  How miserable and distressed I remain.  Witness wise doctors my wounded heart  And my stunned, gloomy and insane mind.  Witness dear saints how I relinquished my faith  To worship a pagan love that cruelly cheats me.  Witness heaven how he is dear to me  And my lusty wanton desire grieves me.  Witnesss the wrongs inflicted  upon me  How into slavery Love has trapped me  And a wretched penance in a black pit  I live in the dim  hole since I found it.
