Now goþ Gij sore desmaid,
His woundes him han iuel afreyd.
To an ermite he is y-go,
Þat he was ere aqueynted to;
His woundes þer hele he dede
Wiþouten noise in that stede.

So ful he was of tresoun.
His woundes him han iuel afreyd.

Wiþouten noise in that stede.
Miche he him dradde þe douk Otoun,

Þat to þe deþ wounded he nis,
& seye þat he hym hele miȝt;
& so he dede ful wele, y pliȝt.
