Graciarum acciones iesu christo stanti in sepulcro.
I þank þe, lord, þat þow me wrout, [folio 79]
And with strong peynus þow me bout;
I þank þe, lord, with ruful entent
Of þi peynus and þi turment,
Line 156
With carful hert and dreri mod,
For schedynd of þi swet blod.
What may i say þow hast done for me?
Þi bodi was bonden to a tre,
Line 160
With scourges knit þe knottis [MS. knoctis.] grete
Þi blessud bodi was al for-bete,
On eueri side turnud and torne,
Also naked as þow were borne,
Line 164
Þat hol sted was found none
Fro þe croun to þe ton.
Þi blessud bodi þer hit stod, [folio 79b]
Al hit was be-helet in blod;
Line 168
And when þow were so for-swong,
Among þe iues þey did þe hong,
With scharp naylus þorow hand and fet
Þey let þe hong til þow wer ded;
Line 172
And aftur þi deth, to us sote,
Þey pittun a spere to þin hert rote;
