“Jhu þt was wt spe y stoṅge
And for us hard and sore y swounge
Glady both old and younge
Wt wytte honest
That wylled a whyle ster her tounge
And herkeny gest

But fele men be of swythe manre
Goodnesse when hy scholden here
Hy nylled naƺt leste wt her ere
To lerny wyt
But as a swyn wt lowryng cher
All gronne he sytte.

And fele of hem casted a cry
Of thyng þt fallyd to rybavdy
That noon of hē þt sytte hȳ by
May have no lest
God schylde all þys company
Fram swych a gest.

And ƺeve us grce goodnesse to lere
Of ham þt before us were
Crystendō how they gōne a rer
Tho hyt be gan
Of oon þe best ys mowre a here
That hyƺt Ottouyan.”
