And with his mercy he wyll man saue

[¶ Capitulum .xii.]

WHan I had scomfyte this serpent venymous

Sapyence to me ryght gentely sayd

Blessyd be god ye are so gracyous

That ye shall mary Clennes the mayd

But yet erwhyles ye were afrayd

Ye I sayd and swet full ryght sore

Tyll ye newe strength dyd me restore
