O My hert is wo
Mary dyde ~ay ~o
For to ~e my dere ~one dye
Seyng I haue no mo
Whan that my ~wete ~one
Was .xxx. wynter olde
Than the traytour Judas
He became wonders bolde
For .xxx. plates of money
His may~ter had he ~olde
But whan I wy~t of that
Lorde my herte was colde
O my heart is wo
On ~here thur~day
Truely than thus it was
On my ~ones dethe
That Judas dyd compas
Many were the Jewes
That folowed hym by trace
And before them all
He ky~~ed my ~ones face
O my heart is wo
My ~one before Pylate
Then brought was he
And Peter ~ayd .iii. tymes
He knewe hymn nat parde
Pylate ~ayd to the Jewes
Now what ~ay ye:
They cryed all with one voyce
Crucifige Crucifige.
O my hert is wo.
On good fryday
At the mount of Caluary
My ~one was on the cro~~e
And nayled with nayles thre
Of all the frendes that he had
Neuer one coud he ~e
But gentyll Johan the euangely~t
That ~tyll dyde ~tand hym by
O my hert is wo.
Though I ~orowfull were
No man haue no wonder
For how it was the erth quaked
And horryble was the thonder
I loked vpon my ~wete ~one
The cros that he ~tode vunder
Lungeus came with a long ~pere
And claue his hert a~onder
O my hert is wo
Finis.
