 Many a man ouerthrowen hath she  
 Beth waar be this ensampil yong and olde  
 Lucifer though he an aungil were  
And nat a man at hym I wil begynne  
 For thy fortune may nat aungel dere  
 From high degre yet fyl he for his synne  
 Doun in to helle where he is yet ynne  
 O Lucifer brightist of aungellis alle  
Now art thou sathanas that maist not twynne  
 Out of misery which thou art falle  
 Lo Sampson which was anunciat  
 Be the aungel longe or his natiuite  
 And was to god almighty consecrat  
And stood in nobles whilech he mighte se  
 Was neuyr such another as was he  
 To speke of strengthe and therto hardines  
 But to his wyuys tolde he his secre  
 Thorough whiche he slow hym self for wrecchidnes  
Sampson this nobil and mighty champioun  
 Withoute wepen saue his hondis twey  
 He slough and al to rente the lioun  
 Toward his weddynge walkyng be the wey  
 His fals wif coude hym plese and prey  
Til she his counsel knew and she vntrewe  
 Vnto his foos his counsel gan bewrey  
 And hym forsook and took another newe  
 An hundrid foxis took Sampson for Ire  
 And al her tailis he to gedir bonde  
And sette the foxis tailis al on fyre
