Help my ȝonge spowse in hast anone,—

I drede me sore of that fayr food.

Salome. Be of good chere and of glad mood,

We ij. mydwyvys with the wylle go;

Ther was nevyr woman in suche plyght stood,

But we were redy here help to do.

My name is Salomee, alle men me knowe

ffor a mydwyff of wurthy fame;

Whan women travayl, grace doth growe,

Ther as I come I had nevyr shame.
