To bidde ech halwe after oþer oure help forto be[o]
As me deþ a sein Markes day a lite biuore þe masse
Nou is þer double Letanie þe more & eke þe lasse
Þe more is a sein Markes day wanne þe baners beoþ out ido
Wy[þ] procession biuore þe masse & hy songe þe Letanie also
And vasteþ Cristene men ac for sein Markes loue noȝt
Ac for þe Letanie & baners þat beoþ þanne out ibroȝt
And noȝt as seiþ many fol þat sein Mark framward is
To faste is day & noȝt is eue for þat is iseid amis
