Twice the Christ

I twice am Christ, self-loved and prized; Above the Earth, to lift -Arise! The Devil's deeds seem sweet indeed (By them, truly, am quite enticed!) A magic Martyr- now crucified, To my own great feigned dismay A Crown of Horns; the King of Lies! (The Romans make such grand displays...) If but one of you would thus believe, Repeat the Gospel, and for me grieve A lesson to learn should I not return: There can be nothing that's good about being misunderstood- You could be nailed the same as me!
