| Thus hadde thyse wrecchis two her endynge | |
565 | Thus endid ben thyse homicides two | |
| And the fals empoysoner also | |
| O cursid synne ful of cursidnes | |
| O traytours homicides o wickidnes | |
| O glotony o luxury o hasardrye | |

| Bowith your heed vnder thyse holy bullis | |
| Comyth vp ye wyuys offrith of your wollis | |
| Your names I entre in my roll anon | |
