Dysese, wharre, sorowe and debate,
ys caused ofte by venemys tonge;
haddywyst cometh euer to late
Whan lewyd woordis beth owte y-spronge.
The kocke seyth wysly on his songe
‘hyre and see, and hold the stylle,’
And euer kepe thys lesson A-monge,
Whate euer thow sey, A-vyse the welle!
y dere welle swery by the sonne,
yf euery man had thys woord yn thowȝt
