For if they do retorne to thee – Scholarly Edition

For if they do retorne to thee¹This poem is a fragment of “Amor Ordinem Nescit,” lines 253-260.
          thy heart thou willt not close,
As wittnes can my wretched soule
          which was so like to loose
 
All grace and goodness (if thow hadst
          not me with helpe prevented)
By sinnes that would with blouddie teares
          be while I liue lamented.
