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;
