    (continued from previous page)
    And on Calvary with soldiers was arrayed
    Then why should I regret
    The fatal blow of death
    When the Saviour of the world was betrayed
    But oh that awful hour
    It would fade the nicest flower
    When the emblem of death it doth appear
    It was plain in his place
    For those obstacles to embrace
    Yet the sting of a traitor doth fear
    The Lord with him did comply
    He was reconciled to die
    And the supernal sex did all admire
    In his brothers arm locked
    Shure each mortal would be shocked
    For to see this comely young man expire.
