Seie ek wanne þou dest þe sunne for more sunne it is
To sunegi in holy time þanne in oþer iwis
Tel ek þe prest in wuche place þou dust þe sunne also
For it is more sunne in holy stude misdo
As in churche oþer in churche ȝard to do lecherie
For þe holiore is þe stude þe more is þe folie
Tel eke hou ofte þou it dest for þat þou most nede
For þe ofter þou it dust þe more is þi misdede
To sunegi in holy time þanne in oþer iwis
Tel ek þe prest in wuche place þou dust þe sunne also
For it is more sunne in holy stude misdo
As in churche oþer in churche ȝard to do lecherie
For þe holiore is þe stude þe more is þe folie
Tel eke hou ofte þou it dest for þat þou most nede
For þe ofter þou it dust þe more is þi misdede
