Christ to his Mother, in the chanted homily On the Lament of the Mother of God, by Romanos the Melodian (6th century):
Should I not suffer? Not die? How then shall I save Adam?
Should I not dwell in a tomb? How then shall I draw to life those in hell?
... Why, then, do you weep, Mother? Rather shout out,
"Willingly he suffered, my Son and my God!"
