Uxor Japhet. Oure lord God I thanke of his gret grace,
That he doth us save from this dredful payn!
Hym for to wurchipe in every stede and place,
We beth gretly bownde with myght and with mayn.
Noe. Xl.ᵗⁱ days and nyghtes hath lasted this rayn,
And xlᵗⁱ days this grett flood begynnyth to slake;
This crowe xal I sende out to seke sum playn,
Good tydynges to brynge, this massage I make.
Hic emittat corvum, et parum expectans iterum dicat,
This crowe on sum careyn is falle for to ete,
