“Behold the Man!” poor Pilate cried,
Knowing the Master’s innocence:
And centuries of saints replied:
“Behold the Man!”
Betrayed by Judas, and denied,
Scourges by the Romans – how immense
The sufferings of the Crucified!
Yet much more awful and intense
His sufferings before He died.
Drinking all He can now dispense
Behold the Man!
This one is a roundel.

Thank you for your prayers Davif.
