“Whi lengest þou,” quod Iosep[h] to his sone, “so longe?
And so stille liggest lokynde in þe whucche?”
“A! Fader, touche me not in þis ilke tyme,
For muche gostliche grace me is here I-graunted.”
And so stille liggest lokynde in þe whucche?”
“A! Fader, touche me not in þis ilke tyme,
For muche gostliche grace me is here I-graunted.”

And oþer two after hem with sencers soone,
set wiþ riche stones and a viole of sence.
