Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanes; et omnes sicut vestimentum veterascent.

Thei schulen peresche, but þou schalt dwelle,
Alle schulen eelde liyk a clooþ,
Al vanyte þou schalt down felle,
And make it leef þat now is looþ;
For þere is no tunge that can telle
What peyne it is to se þee wrooþ,
Whanne þou schalt close þe gates [of] helle,
And curse[n] alle þat þidir gooþ.
