Not illustrated. 1874 Excerpt: ...eyes unto the heavens I bend, Craving of Christ his mercy to extend. My bloody deed, O Lord! doe me forgive, And let my soule within thy Kingdome live. Farewell! false World, and friends that fickle be; All wives, farewell! example take by me; Let not the Devill to murder you entice; Seeke to escape each foule and filthy vice. And now, O Christ! to thee I yeeld my breath; Strengthen my faith in bitter pangs of death; Forgive my faults and follies, I thee pray, And with thy blood wash thou my sinnes away. Finis.
