“Hail, O bleeding Head and wounded,
With a crown of thorns surrounded,
Buffeted, and bruised and battered,
Smote with reed by striking shattered,
Face with spittle vilely smeared!
Hail, whose visage sweet and comely,
Marred by fouling stains and homely,
Changed as to its blooming color,
All now turned to deathly pallor,
Making heavenly hosts affeared!”

When into the woods He came.”

As far as to the sepulchre of Christ--
Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross

Whose arms were moulded in their mother's womb
To chase these pagans in those holy fields
Over whose acres walked those blessed feet
Which fourteen hundred years ago were nailed
For our advantage on the bitter cross.”

With human hands the creed of creeds
In loveliness of perfect deeds,
More strong than all poetic thoughts;

Or builds the house, or digs the grave,
And those wild eyes that watch the waves
In roarings round the coral reef.”
