CRUCIFIXUS PRO NOBIS: 2. CHRIST IN THE GARDEN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Look, how he glows for heat!
Last Line: He only breathes a sigh, and weeps a tear.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ - Life & Ministry


Look, how he glows for heat!
What flames come from his eyes!
'Tis blood that he does sweat,
Blood his bright forehead dyes:
See, see! It trickles down:
Look, how it showers amain!
Through every pore
His blood runs o'er,
And empty leaves each vein.
His very heart
Burns in each part;
A fire his breast doth sear:
For all this flame,
To cool the same
He only breathes a sigh, and weeps a tear.
