[She goes to the garden.

[Enter the Gardener.

Gardener (Jesus). O woeful woman, · where goest thou? For grief thou prayest, · cry out thou dost. Weep not nor shriek, · he whom thou seekest Thou didst dry his feet · with thy two plaits.

Mary Magdalene. Good lord, · if thou hast chanced to see Christ my Saviour, · where is he truly? To see him · I give thee my land; Jesus, Son of grace, · hear my desire.

Gardener. O Mary, · as I know thee to be Within this world, · one of his blood, If thou shouldst see him · before thee, Couldst thou · know him?

Mary Magdalene. Well I do, · know the form Of the son of Mary, · named Jesus; Since I see him not · in any place, I feel sorrow; · else I would not sing "alas!"

[And then Jesus shall shew his side to Mary Magdalene, and say:

Gardener. Mary, see · my five wounds, Believe me truly · to be risen; To thee I give thanks · for thy desire, Joy in the land · there shall be truly.

Mary Magdalene. O dear Lord, · who wast on the cross tree, To me it becomes not · to kiss thy head. I would pray thee · let me dare Now to kiss · once thy feet.

[Woman, touch me not!]

Gardener. O woeful woman, · touch me not near, No, it will not serve, · nor be for gain; The time is not come; Until I go · to heaven to my Father, And I will return · again to my country,-- To speak with thee.

Mary Magdalene. Christ, hear my voice, · say the hour That thou comest from heaven · again to earth To speak with us. Thy disciples · are very sad, And the Jews · with violence always Are round about them.

Gardener. O Mary, · tell them, Truly I go · to Galilee, As I said; And besides that, · bear in memory to speak Good comfort · to Peter by me; Much he is loved.
