Ȝit shal his ernde ben undon til that other morwe.
And if there be a riche man that evel hath undernome,
Thanne wolen thise freres al day thider come;
And if hit be a pore lyf in poverte and in care,

Alle wite ȝe, gode men, hu the gamen goth. 180
And if the riche man deie that was of eny mihte,
Thanne wolen the freres for the cors fihte.
