Good pilgrim, you do
wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
Have not saints’ lips
and holy palmers too?
Ay, pilgrim, lips that
they must use in prayer.
O, then, dear saint,
let lips do what hands do;
they pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Saints do not move,
though grant for prayers' sake.
Then move not, while
my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
Then have my lips the
sin that they have took.
Sin from thy lips? O
trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.

I am the youngest of that name, for fault of a worse.
