Quis dabit capiti
Meo fontem lacrimarum
Who shal give / vnto myn heed awelle
Of bittir teerys / my sorwes to compleyne
Or a gret conduit / of trowbly watis felle
doun to distille / fro myn eyen tweyne
to shewe the constreynt / of my dedly peyne
whan I allas beheeld / and did see
My deere sone / bleede in euery veyne
Attwix too theevys / nailed to a tree
