{\i As} the waters fail from the sea,\par\tab And the river wasteth and drieth up;
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful {\i brook}, as waters that fail?\par
So man lieth down and riseth not:\par\tab Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake,\par\tab Nor be roused out of their sleep.\par
