J. Heermann, 1585—1647. Tr. Y. H.

Herzliebfter Jefu.

AH, holy Jesu, how hast thou offended,
That man to judge thee hath in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by thine own rejected,
O most afflicted.

2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee?
Alas my treason, Jesu, hath undone thee.
‘Twas I, Lord Jesu, I it was denied thee:
I crucified thee.
