Thus Gamelyn and adam wroughte right fast
And pleyden wiþ þe monkes and made hem agast
Thider þey come rydyng iolily wiþ swaynes
And hom aȝen þey were I-lad in cartes and in waynes

Allas sire abbot what dide we now heere
Tho þat comen hider it was a cold reed

And gert/ him in þe nekke þat he ouerþrew
Line 536

And sette him in þe feteres þer he sat arst
Sitte þer broþer sayde Gamelyn·
For to colyn þy blood as I dide myn

They askeden watir and wisschen anoon.

And ȝe schul heere good game of ȝonge Gamelyn

Come to þe schirref and seyde þat þey wolde /

Til þey come to þe ȝate þer Gamelyn was Inne
They knokked on þe gate þe porter was ny
And loked out at an hol as man þat was sly
