But herkneth, lordynges, o word I yow preye, |

| Were doon in abstinence and in preyere. |
| Looketh the Bible, and ther ye may it leere. |

But listen, masters, one word more I pray: |
| The greatest deeds of all, I'm bold to say, |
| Of victories in the old testament, |
| 290 | Through the True God, Who is omnipotent, |
| Were gained by abstinence and after prayer: |
| Look in the Bible, you may learn this there. |
