Salomon.
Whon þou lenest þi þing, tak hede of þisTo whom þou lenest and what he is;
Such mon to-fore scheweþ him þi frende,
Þat schal be þin enemy at þe ende;
Whon he receyueþ he wol cusse þin honde,
Whon he schulde paie he wol cal þe cherl bonde;
He wol þe ȝelde for þi gode dede
ffoul repreyuynge to þi mede.
