Quoniam sagitte tue infixe sunt michi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam.

For thin arowes ben in me pight,
Thow hast seet fast on me thin honde;
And, as man with-oute myght,
I wexe weyk as is the wonde.
Bot, Lord, meyntyn thow thi right,
Supporte thi man that may not stonde,
And comfort thow thi febil knyght
That fer is flemyd oute of thy lond.
