Asperges me, Domine, ysopo, & mundabor; lauabis me, & super niuem dealbabor.
With holy water thow schalt me spryng,
And as the snowe I schal be quyte;
For, if my soule in synne synk,
With wepying water it may be qwyte.
Deedly draghtes if I drynk,
Of repentaunce gyf me respyte;
For, on the trestly who-so thynk,
In worldes welth is no delyte.
