And þe Fyfþe a blodi cloþ þat he was inne i-braced,
whon he lay after slauht in þe sepulere.
whon he lay after slauht in þe sepulere.

In his honden and his feet alle þei weore faste;
Siþen stiken wiþ þe spere blod and watur louses;
Bi-holdes touward hise feet say fro hem renne;
eornen al of red blod romynge a-boute;
Al priueliche his peyne a-pertliche he sauh.
Bi-holdes touward hise feet say fro hem renne;
eornen al of red blod romynge a-boute;
Al priueliche his peyne a-pertliche he sauh.
