Takith gode hede, men, to ȝure end,

For as I sigge, so hit wol be.

Y not wharof beth men so prute;

Of erthe and axen, felle and bone?

Be the soule enis ute,

A vilir caraing nis ther non.

The caraing is so lolich to see,

That under erth men mot it hide;

Bothe wif and child wol fram him fle,

Ther nis no frend that wol him bide.
