Mekest Mayden, most of miht, Vr gatus þou bi-gonne; Line 112 Sinne bond vs day and niht, We spillen þat we sponne: Mak vs meke and clene in siht, Þen is vr game I-wonne. Line 116 Ladi, lene vs of þi liht, ffor ȝit we ben to blynde; Godes modur, send vs miht, Þe rihte wei to wende. Line 120

VItam presta puram, iter para tutum, Vt videntes Ihesum semper colletemur. And leen vs clene lyf also, Þis lyf is serwe and sake; Diht vs siker wei to go, Þis sunful lyf þou slake; Line 124 Get vs Ihesus to seo þer-to, Þorw siht of him to a-wake, vs to gladschupe euer-mo, Þin help vs þou by-take. Line 128 Ladi louelich, feir and fre, Þou lilye whyt of face, Godus Moder briht of ble, We tristen to þi grace. Line 132

Clene lyf ȝif vs to-day And forþward euer-more, Greiþ vs here a syker way; We stomble ofte and sore; Line 136 Siht of Ihesu, wel þou may, Ȝif hit þi wille wore, Þorw þat siht to glade vs ay, So lyking is þi lore. Line 140 Ladi al in liht I-schrud, Þeos wordes ben ful soþe; Godus Modur, Qween I-kud, Tak þi seruauns to þe. Line 144
