And other wise many fold.
7. Therfor I drede lest God on vs will take veniance, 55
For syn is now alod, without any repentance.
Sex hundreth yeris and od haue I, without distance,
In erth, as any sod, liffyd with grete grevance
Allway;
And now I wax old, 60
Seke, sory, and cold,
As muk apon mold
I widder away.
