Thi wykyd tunge werkit me w[o].

Quan he xulde lede a merie lyf,
Here qwyte sydys waxin ful blo.

Wykkyd tunge makit ofte stauns,
Bothe in Engelond and in Frauns;
Many a man wyt spere and launs,
Throw wykkyd tunge, to dede is do.

Many a man wyt spere and launs,

Thow the self have non;
Of his frynd he makit his fon,
In every place qwere that he go.

Good men that stondyn and syttyn in this halle,
I prey ȝou bothe on and alle,
That wykkyd tunges fro ȝou falle,
That ȝe mown to hefne go.
