Now farewell, lady, and pray for vs,
For thy fyue festes and þy ioyes fyue,
That þy son swete, oure lord Iesus,
Wyll saue vs all, bothe dede & alyue,
For thyse fyue ioyes on the woll we clyue,
And aboue all angeles now ioyes hast þou seuyn,
Helpe vs fayre lady, þys lyfe whyle we dryue,
And after our endyng God send vs heuyn.
Amen.
