Of these iiij. letters purpose I,

All owre joy of hyr sprong.
Withou3ten wem of hyr body,

Of hyr was borne a kyng truly
For Jewys dedyn to deth with wrong.
Upon the mounte of Calvery,

Ther thei betyn hys bar body,
With schorges that war sharp and long.
Our der lady she stod hym by,

And wepe water ful bytterly,
And terys of blod ever among.
