XXXVII. CHRIST APPEARING TO MARY.

Maria Magdalene goth to the grave, and wepyth, and seyth,

ffor hertyly sorwe myn herte dothe breke,

With wepynge terys I wasche my face;

Alas! ffor sorwe I may not speke,

My Lorde is gon that hereinne wase:

Myn owyn dere Lorde and kynge of gras,

That vij. develys ffro me dyd take,

I kan nat se hym, alas! alas!
