Non relinquetur in te lapis super lapidem.

Quen he come to that cite
Ierusalem þer he was dede,
remyng on hit þer saide he
thes wordes with a ruful rede,

42

That destruyet hit shuld be,
As bifelle after fifty ȝer,
for folk þer wonyng couth not se
hor God comyng hom so ner.
Of this mater, leue ȝe me,
her-after I shal say more cler
In his passioun, that alle ȝe
moun witt hit was so bout wer.
