And Poul sauȝ þenne a-noþur plas,
Þat moni peynes þer-in was;
Þer he sauh dispitous þing:
As Blake Maydens in Blac cloþing,
255

And þei sodun euerichon
In wellyng pich and Brumston;
Brennyng dragouns and serpentes ifere
Hongynge aboute heor nekkes were,
Gnawyng hem, to don hem schom,
To-tere þe fflesch from þe bon.
And þer weore foure Angeles to telle
Þat weoren of þe hous of helle,
Brennynge hornes hedde þei on hed;
Þei hem turmented and dude hem qued,
ffaste þei wente þis pepul a-boute
Wiþ moni turmentes grete and stoute,
Seying to hem, as was heore wone:
“Knoweþ ȝe,” þei seide, “godus sone,
Þe wȝuche þat muche on ȝou þouȝt,
Al þe world whon he bouȝt?
ffor ȝe nolde neuer knowen him
Ȝe schullen han here þeos pynes grym.”
