TOOD the afflicted mother weeping

Near the cros her tation keeping

Whereon hung her Son and Lord;

Through whoe pirit ympathizing, Sorrowing and agonizing Alo parted the cruel word.

Oh! how mournful and ditreed

Was that avored and mot bleed

Mother of the only Son! Trembling, grieving, boom heaving, While perceiving, carce believing, Pains of that Illutrious One.
