Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens, & non habens in ore suo [redarguciones].

I be-cam as man [that] myght noght here,
Ne hadde in mouth noon opynnyng;
I saugh the synful gladde of chere,
And went[e] forth ful sore syghyng.
Bot, Lord, þat boghtest man so dere,
Let hym no blys in balys bryng,
But sende hym myght to amende hym here,
And graunt hym grace of vprysyng.
