Uor he was of a grettore man and in a more stude also
And for grettore neode verst iuonde and in þe ordinal ydo
Þe pope Grigori it byuond as me bad him ilome
In þe hexte stude of þe world for atte court of Rome
Þe encheson was ek gret inou for bi þulke daye
Men of Rome faste hore Leinte oure Louerd forto paye

Ac anon so Ester was icome hi turnde to glotonie
And frete and dronke sorwe inou and lyuede in lecherie
Oure Louerd nom eche ȝer þulke tyme þer of wreche inou
And uerlich in stronge deþe muche of þat folk slou
And somme as hi wende aboute ower in felde oþer in mede
Somme atte mete & somme in pley volle adoun standede
And alle þat euere deide so bi costome gonne deie
Galpinge alle oþer fneosynge as al þat folk yseie
Þere uore wanne men galpede þo hi blessede hom anon
Þeruore we makeþ oure uastynge þe nexte day of echon
Þat comeþ after Ester and biuore neuere mo
As a sein Markes day þat yconfermed was þo
