PROTJD LADY MAEGAEET. 83 |

He ne'er was seene to laugh nor smile,
But weepe and make great moane ; Lamenting still his.miseries, in
And dayes forepast and gone. If he heare any one blaspheme,
Or take God's name in vaine, He telles them that they crucifie '
Their Saviour Christe againe. i*
" If you had seene his death," saith he,
" As these mine eyes have done, Ten thousand thousand times would yee
His torments think upon, And suffer for his sake all paine 125
Of torments, and all woes: " These are his wordes, and eke his life,
"Whereas he comes or goes. |
