Unto the flod whan ye be come,

What man that hath the water nome 3670

Up in his hond and lapeth so,

To thi part ches out alle tho;[1295]

And him which wery is to swinke,

Upon his wombe and lith to drinke,

Forsak and put hem alle aweie.

For I am myhti alle weie,

Wher as me list myn help to schewe[1296]

In goode men, thogh thei ben fewe.’
