We xal the teche with carys colde,

A lytyl bettyr to kepe thi kutte.

Mulyer. A! mercy, mercy, seres, I ȝow pray,

ffor Goddys love have mercy on me!

Of my myslevynge me not bewray,

Have mercy on me, for charyté!

Accusator. Aske us no mercy, it xal not be;

We xul so ordeyn ffor thi lot,

That thou xalt dye ffor thin advowtrye;

Therfore come forthe, thou stynkynge stott!
