But quan erth vpon erth has byggyd his bowris,
8
Than xal erth for the erth haue scharpe schowris.
3 Erthe vpon erth wolde be a kyng,
But hove[2] erth xal to erth thynkyth he no thyng.
4 And of the same erthe mad God man,
12
And sethe he made that erth & callyd it Adam,
For loue of erthe, the wych was woman,
That erth in this erthe fyrst be-gan.
