¶ Suete iesu! þat lauerd es,
þou gaf sight o þi blod and flexs,
At euen-sanges time,
25594
In þat ilk time was tan
Dun o þe cros in flexs and ban,
Als it me mai mene.
25597
Do wickednes vte of vr thoght,
And feluni þat gains noght,
And envie and tene;
25600
þat we mai tak þat ilk flexs,
Lauerd! if þi will it es,
Wit bodi and hert clene;
25603
And þat it be vr warantise,
On domesdai quen þou sal rise,
Al þis werld to deme.
