[1] Penance is having remorse in heart,
telling with mouth, and doing amends.
Repent, and cast off servitude forever;
you shall have Heaven at your ending.
[5] There is good that never ends.
There is joy that never passes.
There is life without death.
Saint Mary, beseech your son,
so we may come to that place.
