Ille autem iterum negavitA
-
-
The first time that Peter denied his LordA
He shrank from the cudgel the scourge and the cordA
But followed far off to see what they would doA
Till the cock crew till the cock crewA
After Gethsemane till the cock crewA
-
The first time that Peter denied his LordA
'Twas only a maid in the palace who heardA
As he sat by the fire and warmed himself throughA
Then the cock crew Then the cock crewA
quot Though also art one of them quot Then the cock crewA
-
The first time that Peter denied his LordA
He had neither the Throne nor the Keys nor the SwordA
A poor silly fisherman what could he doA
When the cock crew when the cock crewA
But weep for his wickedness when the cock crewA
-
-
The next time that Peter denied his LordA
He was Fisher of Men as foretold by the WordA
With the Crown on his brow and the Cross on his shoeA
When the cock crew when the cock crewA
In Flanders and Picardy when the cock crewA
-
The next time that Peter denied his LordA
'Twas Mary the Mother in Heaven Who heardA
She grieved for the maidens and wives that they slewA
When the cock crew when the cock crewA
At Tirmonde and Aerschott when the cock crewA
-
The next time that Peter denied his LordA
The Babe in the Manger awakened and stirredA
And He stretched out His arms for the playmatesB
He knewA
When the cock crew when the cock crewA
But the waters had covered them when the cock crewA
-
The next time that Peter denied his LordA
'Twas Earth in her agony waited his wordA
But he sat by the fire and naught would he doA
Though the cock crew though the cock crewA
Over all Christendom though the cock crewA
-
The last time that Peter denied his LordA
The Father took from him the Keys and the SwordA
And the Mother and Babe brake his Kingdom in twoA
When the cock crew when the cock crewA
Because of his wickedness when the cock crewA
