Et sicut oportorium mutabis eos, et mutabuntur; tu autem idem ipse es, & anni tui non deficient.

And þou shalt as a couerlyte
Hem chaunge, and þei schulen chaungid be;
But alwey þou art riȝt parfiȝte,
Thi ȝeeris schulen not fayle þee;
Þerfore whanne þou hast maad us qwyte
Thoru myȝt of inmortalyte,
Þanne schalt þou be al oure delyte
To se þi myȝtful magiste.
