The first cut is the deepest, Baby I know —
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, she's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, she's worst
But when it comes to being loved, she's first
That's how I know
The first cut is the deepest.

This is the shedding of blood, the terrible pouring out of blood, without which, for you and the whole human race, there is no remission.

 
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
 

His drinke, the running streame, his cup, the bare
Of his palme cloasde, his bed, the hard cold ground:
To this poore life was Misery ybound.

No joy so great but runneth to an end,
No hap so hard but may in fine amend.

Time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary.
