Woefully arrayed, My blood, man, for thee ran, it may not be nayed; My body, blo and wan; Woefully arrayed; Sith I for thy soul sake was slain Beguiled and betrayed by Judas' false treason, Unkindly entreated, With sharp cord sore fretted, The Jews me threated: They mowed, they grinned, they scorned me, Condemp to death, as thou may'st see; Woefully arrayed. Thus naked am I nailed, O man, for thy sake; I love thee; then love me; why sleepest thou? Awake, awake! With pains my veins constrained to crake; Whereas never man Was like a lamb offered in sacrifice; Woefully arrayed. So pained, so strained, so rueful, so red; Unfeigned, not deigned, my blood for to shed: My feet and handes sore The sturdy nailes bore; What might I suffer more, O man? Come when thou list, welcome to me! Woefully arrayed.
