Cam afterward to gret encres[1476]
Tuo nacions: and natheles,
For that the stockes were ungoode,[1477]
The branches mihten noght be goode; 240
For of the false Moabites
Forth with the strengthe of Amonites,
Of that thei weren ferst misgete,
The poeple of god was ofte upsete
In Irahel and in Judee,[1478]
As in the bible a man mai se.
