Line 9120
Þe prest þat cursed for þat daunce,
On some of hys, fyl hardë chaunce.

And byryëd hyt on þe morn;
Line 9124

And eft aboue þe graue hyt lay;
Line 9128

And eft was hyt kast oute of þe pyt.

For drede and doute of morë harme,

Frost ne snogh, hayle ne reyne,
Of colde ne hete, felte þey no peyne;

Ne solowed cloþes, ne turned hewe;
Line 9152
Þundyr ne lyȝtnyng dyd hem no dere,
Goddes mercy dyd hyt fro hem were;
But sungge þat songge þat þe wo wroȝt,
"why stondë we, why go we noȝt?"
