Anonne þer was in an abbey þat a dai ȝeode pleie

An holyman þat þer of hurde þuderward wende a day
Anon so he com touward hure þe deuel gradde for fere
A weilawei wat dude ich here bote sat up an erbe þere

Nou God for þe rode loue þat þou were on ido
Bring us to þe heie ioie þat þou us boȝtest to
