Pourchace pes, and set it be thi side,[1929]
And suffre noght thi poeple be devoured,
So schal thi name evere after stonde honoured.[1930]
If eny man be now or evere was[1931]
Ayein the pes thi preve counseillour,
Let god ben of thi counseil in this cas,[1932]
And put awei the cruel werreiour.[1933] 130
For god, which is of man the creatour,
He wolde noght men slowe his creature
Withoute cause of dedly forfeture.
