[Fol. 206b, col. 2.]

Sum-del bigan him forto rewe;

With-drow þe knif, þat was lewe

Godard has pity on him.

Of þe seli children blod;

Þer was miracle fair and god!

Þat he þe knaue nouth ne slou,

But fo[r] rewnesse him wit-drow.[26]

Of auelok rewede him ful sore,

And þoucte, he wolde þat he ded wore,
