MANNYNG de BRUNNE, Robert

As y redde þat yche tyde, / Twey wymmen iangled per bysyde. / Bytwyxe hem two y sagh a fende / Wyp penne & parchemen yn hende, / And wrote al þat eure þey spak / Pryuyly byhynde here bak. / Whan hys rolle was wryte al ful, / To drawe hyt out he gan to pul, // For Ianglers, þys tale y tolde,/ Þat þey yn cherche here tungës holde./ Speke to God yn þy preyere,/ And þat shal nat þe fendë here./ Þou Iangler, take þou godë kepe,/ hyt were wel bettyr þou were on slepe;/ Ȝyf nyt ne be amended here,*. [O. añade—Wyþ shryfte of mouthand pennaunce clere.] / Elleswere shalt þou a-bye hyt dere./ And when he parceyved þat y wyste,/ He al to-drofe hyt with hys fyste,/ And went a-wey aile for shame;/ þarfore y logh and hadde gode game.
