body_n be_v a_o fountain_n of_o mercy_n that_o run_v in_o his_o blood_n so_o thy_o heart_n must_v be_v as_o a_o spring_n of_o sigh_n and_o groan_n and_o thy_o eye_n must_v be_v as_o fountain_n of_o tear_n to_o wash_v with_o magdalen_n not_o so_o much_o christ_n foot_n as_o thy_o own_o soul_n finis_fw-la
