I Thirst fift word on Crosse our Sauiour spake Concluding last of greefes he suffered His last complaint thirst did for vvater make His last request for that he vttered His last torment vvas drinke of bitter gall That cruelty offends his tast vvithall By trauell once leauing Iudea land With vvearie iourney through Samaria He crau'd in Sichar at a vvomans hand Her gift of vvater his great thirst t'alay While she on tearmes delaies and hinderance finds Delaies begotten by vnwilling minds Yet after publicke in Ierusalem He did proclaime to all vvith thirst at strife That plenteously he had to succour them With flowing vvaters to eternall life Inuiting come true comming free attaine That vvhich vvho drinkes shall neuer thirst againe Such thirst-staunch riuers he to thirsty gaue That streames of grace heau'ns dew in soules did shower Yet for his owne thirst vvater he did craue At Iacobs vvell and at his dying hower To come and drinke he free inuites all first And at his last
