Summary

JESU is in my heart, his sacred name

Is deeply carved there: but th'other week

A great affliction broke the little frame,

Ev'n all to pieces: which I went to seek:

And first I found the corner, where was J,

After, where E S, and next where U was graved.

When I had got these parcels, instantly

I sat me down to spell them, and perceived

That to my broken heart he was I ease you,

And to my whole is J E S U.
