To stey to my fadyr and to ȝowre,
To oure Lord both God and frende,
I wyl ascende to hevyn towre.
In hevyn to ordeyn ȝow a place,
To my ffadyr now wyl I go;
To merthe, and joye, and grett solace,
And endeles blys to brynge ȝow to.
ffor man I sufferyd both schame and wo,
More spyteful deth nevyr man dyd take,
ȝit wyl I ordeyn ffor al this, lo,
