PURO CLARUM LUMINE. — Metrum 2
"Homer with the hony mouth (that is to seyn, Homer with
the swete ditees) singeth that the sonne is cler by pure light;
natheles yit ne mai it nat, by the infirme light of his bemes,
breken or percen the inward entrayles of the erthe or elles of
the see. So ne seth nat God, makere of the grete werld. To hym,
that loketh alle thinges from an hey, ne withstondeth no thinges
by hevynesse of erthe, ne the nyght ne withstondeth nat to hym
by the blake cloudes. Thilke God seeth in o strok of thought alle
thinges that ben, or weren, or schollen comen; and thilke God,
for he loketh and seeth alle thingis alone, thou maist seyn
that he is the verrai sonne."
