Testi
Of sharp thorn I have worn
a crown on my head.
So pained, so strained,
so rueful, so red.
Thus bobbed, thus robbed,
thus for thy love dead;
Unfeigned, not deigned,
my blood for to shed.
My feet and handes sore,
The sturdy nailes tore,
What might I suffer more
Than I have done, O man, for thee?
Come when thou list,
welcome to me,
Woefully arrayed.
- - - - - -
I have worn a crown
of sharp thorns on my head.
So much in pain, so bruised,
so sad, so red with my blood.
Thus torn, robbed of life
and dead for love of you;
feigning not, but freely
shedding my blood.
My feet and hands sorely wounded,
torn by the thick nails,
what more could I suffer for you
than I already have, O man?
Come to me when your heart moves you,
for you are welcome,
clothed in sorrow.
