WHEN as in fair Jerusalem, Our Saviour Christ did live, And for the sins of all the world His own dear life did give; The wicked Jews with scoffs and scorns Did daily him molest; That never till he left this life, Our Saviour could have rest. Repent therefore, O England! Repent while you have space; And do not like the wicked Jews Despise Gods proferd grace. When they had crownd his head with thorns, And scourgd him with disgrace;
In scornful sort they led him forth Unto his dying place. Where thousands thousands in the street Did see him pass along; Yet not one gentle heart was there, That pityd this his wrong. Repent, etc. Both old and young reviled him, As thro the streets he went; And nothing found but churlish taunts, By every ones consent. His own dear cross he bore himself A burden far too great; Which made him in the streets to faint, With blood and water sweat.
Being weary, thus he sought for rest, For to ease his burthend soul, Upon a stone; the which a wretch Did churlishly controul. And said, Away, thou king of Jews, You shall not rest you here: Pass on; your execution-place You see now draweth near. And thereupon he thrust him thence, At which our Saviour said, I sure will rest, but thou shalt walk, And have no journey staid. With that this cursed shoemaker, For offering Christ this wrong, Left wife and children, house, and all, And went from thence along. So when he had the precious blood Of Jesus Christ thus shed, And to the cross his body naild Away with speed he fled. Without returning back again Unto his dwelling-place; And wandereth up and down the world, A renegade most base. No resting could he find at all, Nor ease, nor hearts content; No house, nor home, nor dwelling-place, But wandering forth he went. From town to town in foreign lands, With grieved conscience, still Repenting for the henious gift Of his fore-passed ill. Thus after some ages had past, With wandering up and down, He once again desired to see Jerusalems fair town. But finding it was quite destroyd, He wandered full of woe; Our Saviours words which he had spoke, To verify and shew: Ill rest, said he, but thou shalt walk, So doth this Wandering Jew, From place to place, but cannot stay, For seeing countries new. Declaring still the power of him, Whereer he comes or goes; And of all things done in the East, Since Christ his death did shew. The world he still doth compass round, And sees those nations strange, Who hearing of the name of God, Their idol Gods do change.
To whom he hath told wondrous things Of time fore-past and gone; And to the Princes of the world Declard his cause of moan. Desiring still to be dissolvd And yield his mortal breath; But as the Lord had thus decreed, He must not yet see death. For neither looks he old or young, But as he did those times When Christ did suffer on the cross, For mortal sinners crimes. He passed many foreign lands, Arabia, Egypt, Africa, Greece, Syria, and Great Thrace, And quite thro Hungary. Where Paul and Peter preached Christ, Those blest apostles dear, Where he hath told our Saviouss words, In the countries far and near. And lately in Bohemia, With many a German town; And now in Flanders, as tis thought, He wandereth up and down. Where learned men with him confer, Of those his lingering days, And wonder much to hear him tell His journeys and his ways. If people give this Jew an alms, The most that he will take Is not above a groat a day; Which he for Jesus sake Doth kindly give unto the poor, And therefore makes no spare, Affirming still that Jesus Christ Of him hath daily care. He was not seen to laugh or smile, But weep and make great moan, Lamenting still his miseries, And days far spent and gone. If he hears any one blaspheme, Or take Gods name in vain; He tells them they crucify Our Saviour Christ again. If thou hadst seen grim death, said he, As these mine eyes have done, Ten thousand thousand times would ye His torments think upon. And suffer for his sake all pains, All torments, and all woes. These are his words, and this his life, Whereer he comes or goes.
