When shall our minds wholly convert From wealth, and worldly gain? When shall the movings of our heart From wickedness refrain? When shall this flesh return to dust, From whence the same did spring? When shall the trial of our trust Appearing with triumphing? When shall the Trump blow out his blast, And thy dear babes revive? When shall the Whore be headlong cast, That sought us to deprive? When shall Thy CHRIST, our King, appear With power and renown? When shall Thy saints, that suffer here, Receive their promised crown? When shall the faithful, firmly stand? Before Thy face to dwell; When shall Thy foes, at Thy left hand, Be cast into the hell? * * * * * _Apoca. 22._ _Come, +LORD JESU!+_ T. B. Imprinted at London, by John Kingston for Richard Adams. FOOTNOTES: [2] BONNER. [3] _Grinstead._ _The winning of Calais by the French,_ _January_ 1558 A.D. There is but little doubt that the gross negligence whereby Calais was lost to us, was but the natural outcome of the national demoralization occasioned by the public administration of Queen MARY; which placed all Laymen at the mercy of the Spiritualty, and all Englishmen at the command of the Spaniard. Looking back, all now acknowledge that the loss of Calais was a gain to England, as well as to France: but for a time, it did sting Englishmen to the quick; and that, all the more, seeing it was lost in a war in which we were only fighting PHILIP's battles, and had no real concern ourselves. We here group the following Eye Witness reports, accounts, &c., of the loss of the English Pale in France. PAGE _+CALAIS.+_ G.
