¶ For now arriu'd vnto this hatefull place,
In which his Crosse erected needes must bee,
False hearts, and willing hands come on apace,
All prest to ill, and all desire to see:
Gracelesse themselues, still seeking to disgrace;
Bidding him, If the Sonne of God he bee,
To saue himselfe, if he could others saue,
With all th'opprobrious words that might depraue.
His harmelesse hands vnto the Crosse they nailde,
And feet that neuer trode in sinners trace,
Betweene two theeues, vnpitied, vnbewailde,
Saue of some few possessors of his grace,
With sharpest pangs and terrors thus appailde,
Sterne Death makes way, that Life might giue him place:
His eyes with teares, his body full of wounds,
Death last of paines his sorrows all confounds.
His joynts dis-joynted, and his legges hang downe,
His alablaster breast, his bloody side,
His members torne, and on his head a Crowne
Of sharpest Thorns, to satisfie for pride:
Anguish and Paine doe all his Sences drowne,
While they his holy garments do diuide:
His bowells drie, his heart full fraught with griefe,
Crying to him that yeelds him no reliefe.
