and the [lause] sandes refusen to beren the hevy wighte.

And [forthy, if thou] wolt fleen the perilous aventure, that is to

the see, thondre with over-throwinges, thou that art put in quiete,

and [weleful] by strengthe of thy palis, shalt leden a cleer age,

scorninge the woodnesses and the ires of the eyr.
