On the wounds of our crucified Lord.
O These wakefull wounds of thine!Are they Mouthes? or are they eyes?Be they Mouthes, or be they eyne,Each bleeding part some one supplies.
Lo! a mouth, whose full-bloom'd lipsAt two deare a rate are roses.Lo! a blood-shot eye! that weepesAnd many a cruell teare discloses.
descriptionPage 22
O thou that on this foot hast laidMany a kisse, and many a Teare,Now thou shal't have all repaid,Whatsoe're thy charges were.
This foot hath got a Mouth and lippes,To pay the sweet summe of thy kisses:To pay thy Teares, an Eye that weepsIn stead of Teares Such Gems as this is.
The difference onely this appeares,(Nor can the change offend)The debt is paid in Ruby-Teares,Which thou in Pearles did'st lend.
