Abide, I hope it be the best.
[1]
Abide, I hope it be the best,Sith hasty man lacked never woe.
2
Let every man that will have restEver ben avised what he will do.
3
Prove ere ye take, think ere ye fest;In weal beware ere ye be woe.
4
Under the bush ye shall tempestAbide, till it be over-go.
5
For long time your heart shall brast;Abide, I counsel you do so.
