And they who hate us for themselves

13 Thou mak'st us a reproach to be

Derision and a scorn to them
that round about us are.

14 A by-word also thou dost us

The people, in contempt and spite,
at us their heads do shake.
15 Before me my confüsion
continually abides;
And of my bashful countenance
the shame me ever hides:
