¶ Parwynke is an erbe grene of colour, [ 395] [ 855] In tyme of may he beryth blo flour, [P. 61] His stalkys arn so feynt and feye [397 febyl vor feynt getilgt.] þat neuer more growyth he heye; On þe grownde he rennyth and [doth] growe, As doth þe erbe þat hyth tunhowe; [ 400] [ 860] þe lef is thicke, schinende and styf, As is þe grene jwy-leef, [An] vnche brod and nerhand rownde, Men calle it þe juy of grownde. Anoþer erbe is callyd soo, [ 405] [ 865] þat we callyn tunhoo. Ȝif it be gaderid in may-sel And dryed and mad to powder wel [405-8 je zwei in einer z.] [408 well Hs.] And wermys, tweyanglys be name, Mad to powdyr and menkte in same, [ 410] [ 870] Ȝif wyf and husbonde in drynk and mete It vsyn oftyn and noȝt for-ȝete, What discord be-twen hem be, It schall hem brynge to vnyte And don hem lewyn togedir weel, [ 415] [ 875] [415 lowyn Hs.; weell Hs.] As euer þei dedin in ony seel. [416 dedin þei Hs.; seell Hs.] Take of þe powder a lytyl also And do a lytyl bren þer-to An[d] in a fysch-pond late it caste, þe fysches schwln deyin iche on in hast. [ 420] [ 880] To a netis mowth ȝif þis pouder be don, [421 anettis Hs.] It schall to-brestyn sone anon; þis is soth and prewyd thynge Of owre eldere with-owte lesynge. Ȝet wyl peruenke don meche more: [ 425] [ 885] þow man blede of woundys sore, It wyll dryen þe blod wondirly And staw[n]che þe blod redely. [P. 62] Lete hym take lewys tweyne And heldyn hem be-twin hys teth, I seye, [ 430] [ 890]

Where so he blede and in what place, þe blod schall stawnchyn thorow Goddys grace; þis hawe I seyn prewyd with-owtyn fable And þerfore sertys I helde it stable.
