And heo lai þare in alle Ioye : ase þis holie man i-seiȝh.
Þare-fore oþure þat weren hire neiȝh : nusten nouȝt hou it was,
Þat þouȝte þat heo was al a-fuyre : and neuere þe worse hire nas.
Line 88
¶ Þis holie man seint capras : þat i-seiȝh al þis,
to him-seolf he seide, "ich a-bide : nou sone to longue, i-wis;"
he sturte out of þis deope Roche : and þudere or[n] wel faste;
to þis tormentingue sone he cam : no-þing him ne agaste.
Line 92
Loude he gradde with folle Mouth : "Ich am cristine Man,
I-nelle for-sake Ihesu crist : for drede of Dacian.
To longue ich habbe heonne i-beo— : þat me for-þuncheth sore.
here is Ioye and blisse i-nouȝh : þat schal bringue us to more."
Line 96
¶ Tweie breþren þare comen þo al-so : seint Felician
And seint prime : þat seide also to þis Dacian.
Wod-wrothþ was Dacian þo : he dude heom nime ech-on,
Seinte Fey and alle þe oþere : and smiten of heore heuedes a-non.
Line 100
Þe tormentores i-redie weren : and gonne þat maide take
And hire felawes forth with hire : þat nolden ore louerd for-sake,
And ladden heom forth to heore ende-day : and heore heuedes smiten of sone
In gret wrathþe ech aftur oþur : and duden heore maistres bone.
Line 104
¶ To þe Ioye of heouene a-non huy wenden : and þare bi-leue with|outen ende;
Aungles þare weren to bere heom forthþ : þat ore louerd þudere gan siende.
Þe luþere men leten þe bodies ligge : þo huy weren i-brouȝt of dawe,
In a foul stude al on-bured : þare bestes heom scholden to-drawe.
Line 108
Ake cristine men þat þare weren neiȝh : þerto stelen bi niȝhte
And bureden heom in a derne stude : ase nobleliche ase huy miȝhten. [folio 54]
Nou seinte Fey and hire felawes : ore erinde beode so,
Þat we moten to þe Ioye come : þare huy beoth inne i-do.
Line 112

Ondleuene þousend of virgines : for ore louerd i-martrede were;
Telle i-chulle of heore martyrdom : and ho heom þar-to gan lere.
A kyng þare was in Brutayne : sire Maur was is name;
Ane douȝter he hadde þat hiet Ourse : þat was of noble fame;
