God wote the wormys for to ryght rede.

14 Erthe a-geyn erthe I holde it on-kynde,

Erthe is as sone wroth as is the wynde,

Swyche fowle erth mekyl may we fynde,

That wyl speke fayre before vs & falsly be-hynde.

[fol. 68, ro.]

15 When erth vp-on erth be-gynnys to be wroth,

52

Erth vpon erth swerys many a gret othe,
