| 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. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| If I profane with my unworthiest hand . This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:. My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand . To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. | |
| | |

|
| | |
| Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Saints do not move, and though grant for prayer's sake. | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; They pray � grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. | |
