17. Tell us, Francis, tell us,
    What saw you upon the cross?
    Son of the living God by birth,
    Crucified for love of all here on earth.
18. Tell us, Francis, tell us,
    What saw you upon the cross?
    Christ affixed with nails to the cross,
    And upon His head a crown of thorns.
19. Credence is due Francis on his own as more veracious
    Than crowds of worldlings that sound loquacious.
20. We know that Christ suffered death upon the cross verily:
    Therefore, King benign, show us your mercy.
