Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, & peccatum meum contra me est semper.
For alle my wykkednes I knowe,
And my synne is euer my sight agayne;
And therfore let thi pite growe,
Ihesu, þat were of Iewis slayne;
For ryche and pore, hygh and lowe,
And euer[y] wight, I am certayne,
On domesday, whan thow schal blowe,
Of thi mercy wil be fayne.

On domesday, whan thow schal blowe,
Of thi mercy wil be fayne.
