Redde michi leticiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma me.

Of thyn hele ȝelde me blisse,
And strenght me with thi spirit cheef;
Alle my fyue wittes thow wysse,
That I may lyf as the is leef;
And, as thow may my langour lysse,
That broghtest man to grete bonchef,
So lat me neuer mercy mysse
When I am greuyd with goostly greef.
