And ryng it out as lowd as doth a belle,

For I can al by rote whiche that I telle.

My teeme is alway oon, and ever was

Radix omnium malorum est cupiditas.

First I pronounce whennes that I come

And thanne my bulles schewe I alle and some;

Oure liege lordes seal upon my patent

That schewe I first my body to warent,

That no man be so hardy, prest ne clerk,

Me to destourbe of cristes holy werk.
