• Lords, I protest my soul is full of woe
  That blood should sprinkle me to make me grow.
  Come, mourn with me for what I do lament,
  And put sullen black incontinent.

  To wash this blood off from my guilty hand.
  March sadly after. Grace my mournings here
  In weeping after this untimely bier.
