For ofte tymes sche grecid hir schos,

And wisch hir vessel as a guystroun dos,

And what so euer þei put hir to

Wt a good wil al dide scho.

Hir hed was wounden al a boute

Wiþ a foul lynen cloute,

And for sche was so onlikli

Alle þei letin of hir skornfulli,

But yet sche was ful derworthi

Beforn our lord god almyghti."
