Plain text of Book 6, Hymn 119

The debt which I incur, not gaming, O God, and, not intending to repay, acknowledge, that may God, the best, our sovereign, carry away into the world of virtue.

2 I cause the Friend of all men to know, confessing the debt whose payment is promised. He knows to tear asunder all these nooses: so may we dwell with Him the gentle-minded.

3 May God the Purifier purge me when I oppose their hope and break my promise, unknowing in my heart. With supplication, whatever guilt there is in that, I banish.
