Systyr Martha and Mawdelyn eke,

What hast helpe me in bedde to dresse;

ffor trewly I am so woundyrly seke,

I may nevyr schape this grett seknes.

My deth is com now I gesse,

Help into chawmere that I be led,

My grett desesse I hope xal lesse,

If I were leyd upon a bed.

Martha. Laȝarus, brother, be of good cher,

I hope ȝour syknes ryght wel xal slake;
