Ovyr alle this werd wyde ther is no plot bare,
With watyr and with flood God vengyd wylle be.
Uxor Cham. Rustynes of synne is cawse of these wawys,
Alas! in this fflood this werd xal be lorn;
ffor offens to God brekyng his lawys,
On rokkys ryght sharp is many a man torn.
Japhet. So grevous fflodys were nevyr ȝett beforne,
Alas! that lechory this vengeauns doth gynne!
It were welle bettyr ever to be unborn,
Than ffor to forfetyn evyr more in that synne.
