Text:
Whanne ic se on Rode Jesu, my lemman, And besiden him stonden Marye and Johan, And his rig iswongen, And his side istungen, For the luve of man: Well ou ic to wepen, And sinnes for to leten, Yif ic of luve can.
When I see on the cross, Jesu, my lover, And beside him stand Mary and John, And his back scourged, And his side pierced, For the love of man, Well ought I to weep And sins to abandon, If I know of love.
