Shauyng of siluer yes sire parde  
 He put his hond yn and took vp ateyne  
 Of siluer fyne and glad in euery veyne  
 Blithe was this preest when he sy it was so  
 Goddis blissing and his modris also  
And alle halowes haue ye sire Chanon  
 Said this preest and I here malison  
 But and ye vouchesauf to teche it me  
 This nobil craft and this subtilte  
 I wyl be your man in al that euer I may  
Quod this Chanon yet wol I make asay  
 The seconde tyme that ye mowe take hede

 Of quycsiluer withoute wordis mo  
 And do therwith as ye haue do or this  
 With that other whiche that siluer is  
 The preest hym bisieth al that euer he can  
To do as this Chanon this cursid man  
 Comaundid hym and faste blew the fyre  
 Forto come to the effect of his desire  
 And this Chanon right in this mene whyle  
 Al redy was this preest forto begile  
And for contenaunce in his hond bare  
 An holow sticke take kepe and beware  
 In the ende of whiche was an vnce and more  
 Of siluer lymayl put as said is before
