The text is from the Biblical verse, 2 Samuel 18:33 which records King David’s reaction to the news that his son Absolom has been killed.

When David heard that Absalom was slain
He went up into his chamber over the gate and wept,
and thus he said: my son, my son, O Absalom my son, would God I had died for thee!
