[Even-song.]
[S]uete iesu! þat lauerd es,
þu gaf sight of þi blod and fless,
At euen-sanges time,
25594
þat ilke time þu dune was tane
Of þe rode in fles and bane,
Als it me mai mene.
25597
Do wickenes vte of vr thoght,
And feluni þat gaines noght,
And envie and tene;
25600
þat we mai take þat ilk fles,
Lauerd! if þi will it es,
wid bodi and herte clene;
25603
And þat it be vr warantise,
On domes day quen we sal rise,
And þu þis werld sal deme.
