[Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe steterunt; et vim faciebant qui querebant animam meam.
Thei stode afer that where me nygh,
Thei strenghed hem that my sowle sought,
The world was fals, the fend was slygh,
The flesch dide so that me forthought.
Therfor to Godde than y fleygh
With lowly herte, and him besought
To yeve confort fro hevene an heegh
Of werkis that i hadde myswrought.]
