Given to utter vexation and vulgar asceticism Revealing in the blows From the unseen accuser Not only to bear witness But attain evidence Skin becomes to the tearing under fresh affliction Sweat now mingles with the blood of gross hematuria
From the head Down the back Passing the thigh For it is he that breath hatred onto censuring And the stones are covered with this blood Arms to torso and leg to leg Now adhered with this
Each new blow A echo of the last Yellowed orbs rolling under these eyelids The limbs give way
The last cry of joy Forever and ever
Chin bobs the shoulder amidst great pallor This figure is now folded and crimson
Arms and legs bound with pus and wax-like crust Covering the feet of the accuser This work is complete
