For I have sinned in every part of me.

Come, strike the mortal blow where'er thou wilt:

Break through my breast and tear my heart away,

So full of sin; lay bear my vitals all;160

Rain blows upon my neck until it break,

Or let thy gouging fingers tear my veins

Until they flow with blood. Or, if thou wilt,

Direct thine anger whither thou art wont:

These healing wounds reopen; let them flow

With streams of blood and loathsome gore again;
