CHARMES.
FOR STENCHING OF BLOOD.
Sanguis mane in te,
Sicut Christus fuit in se;
Sanguis mane in tua vena
Sicut Christus in sua poena;
Sanguis mane fixus,
Sicut Christus quando fuit crucifixus,
2. A THORNE.
Jesus, that was of a Virgin born,
Was pricked both with nail and thorn;
It neither wealed nor belled, rankled nor boned
In the name of Jesus no more shall this.
Or, thus:—
Christ was of a Virgin born;
And he was pricked with a thorn;
And it did neither bell, nor swell,
And I trust in Jesus this never will.
3. A CRAMP.
Cramp be thou faintless,
As our Lady was sinless,
When she bare Jesus.
