But quan erth vpon erth has byggyd his bowris,

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.
