A divine centurie of spirituall sonnets 003 - ZaunköniG - 19.02.2026

SONNET. III.

SAcred redeemer, let my praiers pearce
Thine eares to contrite sinners open still
At my harts altar made, where (to fulfill
My vowes) I sacrifice in humble verse.

Which doe with troubled penitence rehearse
My ceaselesse sinnes repugnant to thy will:
Let mercie mittigate the large blacke bill
Of my dead sinnes: Deare iudge the doome reuerse

Which with foule guilt agrieu'de my conscience gaue,
By iustice iustly damn'd to quenchlesse fire:
Oh my deare Sauiour crucifi'd, mee saue!
Let my contricions incense vp aspire

(With true zeale kindled on my Altar hart)
And of thy sweete saluation purchase part.
