Or I deyd that I myght fynde,

My Savyour with myn ey to se;

But that it is so longe behynde,

It is grett dyscomforte onto me.

ffor I waxe olde and wante my myght,

And begynne to fayle my syght,

The more I sorwe this tyde;

Save only, as I telle ȝow ryght,

God of his grace hath me hyght,

That blysful byrth to byde;
