Which the Jews did unto Me in days of yore.

The longer Emma hearkened to this play, even the more she bethought of her sins, saying thus:

Now do my tears begin to flow

And course adown my cheeks like rain.

At hearkening to these words; O Lord of Lords,

Were it possible that should I turn me towards

Thy mercy, I might have of it some part?

Ere now contrition hath visited not my heart.
