THE PLAINT OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN 
 
 ! 
 
 en., 
 
 Uniler the world redeeming rood, 
 The most afflicted Mother stood 
 Mingling her tears with her Son's Blood. 
 
 As that stream'd down from every part, 
 Of all his Wounds she felt the smart; 
 What pierc'd his body, pierce'd her heart. 
 
 Who can with tearless eyes look on 
 When such a Mother such a Son 
 Wounded and gasping does bemoan ? 
 
 () Worse than Jewish heart that should 
 Unmoved behold the double flood, 
 Of Mary tears and Jesus Blood. 
 
 Alas ! our sins they w^ere not his 
 
 In this atoning Sacrifice, 
 
 For which he bleeds, for which he dies. 
 
 When graves did open, rocks were rent, 
 When nature and each element 
 His torments and her grief resent, 
 
 Shall man, the cause of all his pain. 
 And all her grief, shall sinful man 
 Alone insensible remain ? 
 
— 6 — 
 
 Ah ! pious Mother, teach my heart 
 Of sifrhs and tears the holy art, 
 And in thy grief to hear a part. 
 
 O may the wounds of thy dear Son, 
 Our contrite hearts possess alone, 
 And all terrene affection drown. 
 
 Those wounds which now the stars outshine 
 Those furnaces of love divine, 
 May they our drossy souls refine ; 
 
 And on us some impression make. 
 That we of suffering for his sake 
 May joyfully our portion take. 
 
 Let us his proper badge put on, 
 
 Let's glory in the cross alone 
 
 By which he marks us for his own : 
 
 That when the last assizes come, * 
 b'or every man to hear his doom, 
 On his right hand we may find room 
 
 ! hear us, Mary ; Jesus, hear 
 
 Our humble prayers, secure our fear. 
 
 When thou in Judgment shalt appear. 
 
 Now giv^e us sorrow, give us love, 
 That so prepared we may remove, 
 When call'd from this to the world above.

 Jesus ! our adorable Saviour, 
 behold us prostrate at Thy feet, im-

 for the souls of the faithful departed. 
 Vouchsafe to apply to us and to 
 them, the merits of Thy Passion, 
 through the infinite power of that 
 Precious Blood, which, for the 
 washing away of our sins, Thou 
 didst shed at every Station of Thy 
 dolorous Way.

 hearts be so touched with contrition

 we may be ready to embrace with
