My bodyly reste whyle that I take,
And as long as myn eyen slepe
Late my hert in þy seruyce wake. [ 12]
For feryng of þe fende oure fo
Foule dremes, and fro fantasies,
Kepe me this nyght fro syn also
In clennes þat I may vpryse. [ 16]
Saue my good doers fro greuaunce,
And quyte hem þat þey on me spende,
Kepe myne enemyes from noyaunce,
And yeue hem grace to amende. [ 20]
