Hail, body that we ought to bless,
So faithful friend may never man find;
Hail, lever and lover of largeness,
Sweet and sweetest that never may swynde;
Hail, botenere[1] of every body blind;
Hail, borgun brightest of all bounty,
Hail, trewore then the wode bynd:
_You pray for us thy Sone so free!_ AVE.
