Ah, mine heart, remember thee well
Language: English 
Ah, mine heart, remember thee well,
And think on the paines that been in hell.

Ah, mine heart, remember me well,
how greatly thou art bound indeed;
Thou thinkest on Him never a deal
That helps thee ever at thy most need.
Alas, for sorrow mine heart doth bleed,
To think how grievously I have offended;
I cry God mercy, I will amend.

With weeping tears most lamentable
To God above I call and cry;
I will axe grace while I am able,
I have offended so grievously;
Me to amend I will me hie, 
For all my life-days I have mispend:
I cry God mercy, I will amend.
