And of ȝour sorwe ȝow sone amende!

Joachym. I am nott wurthy, Lord, to loke up to hefne!

My synful steppys anvempnyd the grounde;

I loth folest that levyth thou, Lord, hyest in thi setys sefne,

What art thou, Lord? what am I wrecche werse than an hownde?

Thou hast sent me shame whiche myn hert doth wounde;

I thank the more herefore than for alle my prosperité:

This is a tokyn thou lovest me,—now to the I am bounde;

Thou seyst thou art with hem that in tribulacion be.

And ho so have the, he nedyth not care thanne;
