Inicio tu, Domine, terram fundasti; & opera manuum tuarum sunt celi.
For, Lord, þou bigunne þe grounde;
Thin handwerkis ben heuenes alle,
Al þis world, þat is so rounde,
Of creaturis grete and smalle.
Thou hast hem pynned in a pounde,
Wiþ-oute warde of wouȝ or walle,
And, while þou list, þou sauest hem sounde
And, whanne þou wilt, þei schulen doun falle.
