O, they are sweet Jewells! He that would put his confidence in Turnops And pickled Spratts Come, yet resume your Courage, Pluck up that leaden hart and looke upon mee; Modesbargen's fledd, and what we lockt in him Too far of from their subtle keys to open, Yf we stand constant now to one another And in our soules be true.
