Synful man, loke vp and see, [folio 10]
How reufulli I hyng on rode,
And of my penaunce haue pitee
With sorughful herte and drery mode.
Alle þis, man, I sufferd for þe,
My flesh bee ryuen, forbled my blode.
Lift vp þi herte, þou calle on me,
Forsake þi synne, haue mercy gode!

Man, to refourme thyn exile and thi losse [folio 94b]
Frome paradyse, place of moste plesance,
The to restore I hange appone this crosse
Corouned with the thorne, woundede with the launce
Handes and feete to encrese my greuance,
With scharpe nayles my blode made ryne doune —
When euer thou felis any perturbance,
Looke one my woundes, thynke one my passioun!
Thynke and remembre apon my blody fface,
The reede, the sponge, aysele mengyde with galle,
Full fele rebukes, O man, for thi trispace,
With hatefull spittynge þat one my vesage dide falle.
Kyng of Iewes in scōrne þay dide me calle,
Blyndfelde, bobbyde by false derysioun —
O man, for thi comforthe, amonge thi troubles alle,
Looke one my woundes, thynke one my passioun!
