That thei on fote it passe dreie[1648]
And gon so forth into desert:
Wher forto kepe hem in covert,
The daies, whan the Sonne brente,[1649]
A large cloude hem overwente,
And forto wissen hem be nyhte,
A firy Piler hem alyhte. 1670
And whan that thei for hunger pleigne,
The myhti god began to reyne
Manna fro hevene doun to grounde,
