Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAACADAEAFF| Spit in my face you Jewes and pierce my side | A |
| Buffet and scoffe scourge and crucifie mee | B |
| For I have sinn'd and sinn'd and onely hee | B |
| Who could do no iniquitie hath dyed | A |
| But by my death can not be satisfied | A |
| My sinnes which passe the Jewes impiety | A |
| They kill'd once an inglorious man but I | C |
| Crucifie him daily being now glorified | A |
| Oh let mee then his strange love still admire | D |
| Kings pardon but he bore our punishment | A |
| And Jacob came cloth'd in vile harsh attire | E |
| But to supplant and with gainfull intent | A |
| God cloth'd himselfe in vile mans flesh that so | F |
| Hee might be weake enough to suffer woe | F |
