34. Man's Leman on the Rood.
Wose seye on rodeihesus is lef-mon,
(Sori stod him bi wepinde
sent marie & sent Ion),
Is hewid him al abutun
wid þornis i-prikit,
Is faire hondin & is waire wed
wid naylis y-stickit,
62
ys syde wid sper y-vundit,
Al for sunne of mon,—
Sore he may wepin
& bittre teris letin,
mon þad of luue con.
