English drama

To whom I kneele be mercifull unto me,
        Looke on my harmelesse youth Angels of pitty,
        And from my bleeding heart wipe off my sorrowes,
        The power, the pride, the malice and injustice
        Of cruell men are bent against mine innocence.
        You that controwle the mighty wills of Princes,
        And bow their stubborne armrs, look on my weaknesse,
        And when you please, and how, allay my miseries.      _Exit._
