But whan I, thorough the sotylte, Deceyued was of foule sathan, Thow puttedyst me fro that dignite, Heldyng doune on my brayn pan. Line 152 Noon other cause alege I can, But that synne hathe depryued me. Now, for the blood that from the ranne, So Parce michi, domine. Line 156
(14)
Memento, queso, quod sicut lutum feceris me, et in puluerem reduces me.
Haue mynde, therfore, I the pray, Line 157 O thow god, almyghty kynge. Thynke thow madest me of clay, And in-to clay thow shalt me brynge. Line 160 Suche ys thy myght, and hath be ay. And sythen thow madest furst all thynge, Who dare sey ayene the nay, To lette thy wyll or thy lykyng? Line 164 There ys man olde ne yonge That stryue dar ayenst the. Therfore, nede maketh me synge, Lorde, Parce michi, domine. Line 168
(15)
Nonne sicut lac mulsisti me, et sicut caseum me coagulasti?
Mylkedest nat me, lorde, as mylke, Line 169 With nesshe blood whan thow me made? And sythen, lord, that ylke, Ryght as the hardnesse of chese ys hade? Line 172 My bloode ys nessher than ys sylke, In reyny weder that sone woll fade, And thus me made do dedys swylke With whyche my goste ys ofte vnglade. Line 176 And thus in sinne full depe I wade, That nygh I droune thorow freelte. Although I can of synne nat sade, Yet Parce michi, domine. Line 180
