65. Make Me Loathe Earthly Likings
Swete Ihū
Good god, make me for þi love & þi desyre
ley doune þe birden of fleshly myre
And erthly lykingis to lothe:
My wille of þe flesh haue ladiship,
Reson of my wille haue lordship,
101
And so throw me withinne & withowte
to be soget ondir þi wille alle abowte
to alle þat is reson Right & soþe.
