Thi waslage may neuir be forlorn,

Thi deidis are knawin, thocht that the warld had suorn:

For thi haile mynde, labour and besynes,5

Was set in wer, and werray rychtwisnes;

And felloune loss of thi deyr worthi kyn.

The rancour more remaynde thi mynd with in.

To se thaim sched the byrnand Sothroun blude.10
