Torrent, on kne knelyd he

And be-sowght Jesu so fre,

That bowght hym with hys blod: 135

He prays for Christ’s help.

‘Lord, ase thow dyd ryght for Mary,

Let me never take velony

And gef me of thy fode!

Serttes, yf I hym slepyng⁾ slone,

Manfull̴ Ded were yt none 140

For my body, be the Rode.’

Tho Terrant blewe hys bugell̴ bold,

To loke that he a-wake wold,

And sythe ner⁾ hyme Rode.
