The nynte is a childely for in dede,
With a longyng love in oure Lorde that ay is;
Blyssyd arn alle they that God drede,
Whiche that gon in his holy weys.
Beati omnes, qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
The tende is myghty soferauns of carnal temptacion,
ffor the fleschly syghtes ben fers and fel;
Ofte ȝoughe is ffowthe with sueche vexacion,
Than seynge God say, so clepyd Israel.
Sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea, dicat nunc Israel.
