Tota die exprobrabant michi inimici mei, et qui laudabant me aduersum me iurabant.
For al the day they [hadde] me [in] scoorne,
Men that myn enemyes were,
And þo that preysiden me biforne
Aftirward aȝeyns me swere.
Thanne was I to-tuggid and to-torne,
Foot and hond, iȝen and eere,
To ech a lyme lijf [hadde] lorne;
Myn heed þei corownyd wiþ þorn of brere.
