What ayleth thee now, that thou art wholly gone vp to the house toppes? 2Thou that art full of stirres, a tumultuous citie, a ioyous citie: thy slaine men are not slaine with the sword, nor dead in battell. 3All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which haue fled from farre.

House - tops - As they used to do in times of great consternation, that they might look, to and cry to heaven for help.
