Blely wole I for hys loue
Þole deþ þis ylke day.
Line 660
Doo fforþ faste as þou began,
Þou fendes leme, þou ffendes gaste!
For al þat euere þou þynke kan,
I wole hem(!) suffre al in haste,
Ms. Caj. Coll. enthält folgenden Schluss:
I þanke þe, lord, now, ful off myȝt,
For þou hast maad me on off þyne,
To wone among þy maydenys bryȝt,
In heuene þer neuere schal be no pyne.
Line 700
Heuene & erþe, boþe lyȝt & derk,
Watyr & land, sunne & mone,
And al þis world þis was þy werk
Þat heyȝe syttyst in holy trone.
I beseke þe to-day
Line 705
Þat þou graunte me a bone,
Out of þis world ar I go away —
For þat I wot schal be ful soone:
Alle þat in þe name off my
My passyoun wole here or rede
Line 710
Or haue me in good memory,
In ony lond or ony lede:
Lord, ȝyff þey praye in ryȝtful case,
In poynt off deþ or oþer nede, [Ms. or or.]
Þou graunte hem for þyn holy grace
Line 715
Off here prayer weel to spede.
To suffre deþ I am here, loo,
Ful prest, lord, for loue off þe;
Þis mace-greff is here al-soo
Wiþ drawen swerd, to hede me —
Line 720
My soule greue he ne may
For þer-off haþ he no pouste:
Tak it to þe now, I þe pray,
In-to þe blysse þat euere schal be!"
Soone as sche hadde maad an ende
Line 725
Off here orysoun & here prayer
For alle þat here hadde in mende
And ffor here-self in þis maner,
