¶ Haue mynde on me, lord, and take hede Of fen of erthe þou dede me make. In-to dust aȝen þou shalt me lede, My soule from þe body take. Line 76 My flesch is ful sleper atte nede, And solpeþ my soule wiþ synnes blake. Lord god, þy dome y drede. Whanne þou comest, y mon awake. Line 80
(11)
¶ My hert shulde be stedefast, Þou hast lopred as mylk, and slep in þouȝt, Riȝt as chese þou croddest me fast. I wyte my synnes þat y wrouȝt. Line 84 Lord, alle my synnes away þou cast, Bote wiþ my synnes cast me noȝt. Þou knowest how longe my lyf shulde last; Þou sette my terme, y passe it noȝt. Line 88
(12)
¶ Þou cloþedest me with flesch and skyn, With bones and synewes made me to-gyder; Lyf and mercy ȝaf me withyn; As brotel vessel y stonde slyder. Line 92 Þy sechyng haþ kepyd my gost with wyn. A, lord, whenne þou comest hyder To deme al erþe, þy domes to twyn Þouȝ I wolde fle, I not noȝt whyder. Line 96
(13)
¶ To deme þe erthe whanne þou wendys, Fro face of þy wraþþe whyder shal I go? To hyde me wiþ angels aren goddis frendys? And god me hate, þay ben my fo. Line 100 And I hyde me in helle among fendys, In pyne þay wolen tormente me so. I haue synned [folio 125b] riȝt moche, my synne me schendys. Me thynke þay waxen mo and mo. Line 104
