Of the Roo huntẏng. brekẏng. and dressẏng

When ye hunt at the Roo then shaƚƚ ye say thoore

He crossies and tresones yowre howndys byfoore

A grete Roobucke ye caƚƚ hym not so

Take the bowellis and the bloode and do aƚƚ to gedre then

Xxx. bredys and .ij. of hym ye shaƚƚ make

By the law of venery as I dare vnder take

Thurgh yowre houndys by stryngth iff that he be dede

Thay shaƚƚ haue the bowyllis boyle with the brede
