                    Ðe leun stant on hille,
                  
                    and he man hunten here,
                  
                    Oðer ðurg his nese smel,
                  
                    Smake ðat he negge,
                    Line 4 
                  
                    Bi wilc weie so he wile
                  
                    To dele niðer wenden,
                  
                    Alle hise fet steppes
                  
                    After him he filleð,
                    Line 8 
                  
                    Drageð dust wið his stert
                  
                    ðer he steppeð,
                  
                    Oðer dust oðer deu,
                  
                    ðat he ne cunne is finden,
                    Line 12 
                  
                    driueð dun to his den
                  
                    ðar he him bergen wille.
