A giu þer com to Rome wile þat nemiȝte him non in wynne
In an old hous he lai adoun fer fram eche inne
For he was so in a wild stude of þe deuel he dradde sore
He þoȝte hou Cristen men hom weste fram þe deueles lore
Þe signe of þe crois he made aboute him an anter wat him bitidde
Þei he nebiluuede noȝt þer on and lai him adoun amidde
A gret deuel þer com at midniȝt as it a maister were
And oþer deuelen suþþe inowe & a chaere wiþ hom bere
Þer uppe hi sette þis grete maister and he hom esste anon
Ech after oþer of hore dede & ware aboute hi hadde igon
Þo euerich hadde iȝoulde acontes of ssrewehede þat hi hadde ido
Þe maister lokede him biside þe Giu he sei also
Wat is he sede þulke maister þat ich ȝend ise[o]
Wo made him so hardi & so wod at oure acontes to be[o]
Forþ up anon & feccheþ him hider he ssel wiþ us telle
So sore dradde þe Giu þat he sset nei out of is felle
Þo þe deuelen come toward him hi ne miȝte come him nei
Ac euerich was nei out of witte wanne hi þe croise isei
Wat nou quaþ þis bolde maister wi nabbe ȝe him ibroȝt
Sire merci þis oþer sede certes we ne mowe noȝt
A uetles it is al amti and wiþoute iarmed uaste
Þo flowe þe deuelen for þe crois so sore hi were agaste
Þe Giu biluuede anon in God þat on þe rode was ido
And let him cristni also sone as he miȝte come þerto
