Ete not this frute ne me dysplese,

ffor than thou deyst, thou skapyst nowth.

Now have I made alle thynge of nowth,

Hevyn and erthe, foulle and best:—

To alle thynge that myn hand hath wrowth,

I graunt myn blyssyng that evyr xal lest;

My wey to hefne is redy sowth,

Of werkyng I wole the vij.ᵗᵉ day rest,

And alle my creatures that be abowth,

My blyssyng ȝe have both est and west.
