If that a sinners sighes, bee Angels food,<br>
or that repentaunt teares bee Angels wine,<br>
accept O Lord in this most pensive moode,<br>
these hartie sighes and faithfull teares of mine:<br>
That went with Peter forth most sinfullie,<br>
but not with Peter wept most bitterlie.<br>
 
If I had Davids Crowne to mee betide,<br>
or all his purple robes that hee did weare,<br>
I would lay then such honor all aside,<br>
and onely seeke a sackcloth weede to beare,<br>
his Pallace would I leave that I might show,<br>
and mourne in cell for such offence, my woe.<br>
 
Ther should these hands beat on my pensive brest<br>
and sad, to death, for sorrow rend my haire,<br>
my voice to call on thee, should never rest,<br>
whose grace I seeke, whose judgement I doe feare:<br>
upon the ground all groveling on my face,<br>
I would beseech thy favour and good grace.<br>
 
But since I have not meane to make the show<br>
of my repentaunt minde, and yet I see<br>
my sinne to greater heape than Peters grow,<br>
wherby the daunger more it is to mee,<br>
I put my trust in his most precious bloud,<br>
whose life was paid to purchase all our good.<br>
 
Thy mercie greater is then any sinne,<br>
thy greatnesse non can ever comprehend:<br>
wherefore O Lord, let mee thy mercie winne,<br>
whose glorious name no time can ever end:<br>
wherefore I say all prayse belongs to thee,<br>
whom I beseech bee mercifull to mee.<br>
