Laboraui in gemitu meo; lauabo per singulas noctes lectum meum; lacrimis meis stratum meum rigabo.
I haue trauaylid in my waylyng;
My bedde schal I wasch euery nyght,
And with þe terys of my wepyng
My bedde-straw water, as it is right.
Synne is cause of my mornyng,
I fele me feynt in goostly [f]ight;
Therfore I wepe and water wryngge,
As I wele owe and euery wight.
