The same in happ wylle falle on the.
Eche man to othyr be mercyable,
And mercy he xal have at nede;
What man of mercy is not tretable,
Whan he askythe mercy he xal not spede.
Mercy to graunt I com indede;
Whoso aske mercy he xal have grace;
Lett no man dowte for his mysdede,
But evyr aske mercy, whyl he hath space.
Scriba. Alas! Alas! oure lawe is lorn!
