 And forth she sayled in to the salt se  
 O my Custaunce ful of benignite  
 O Emperours yong doughter dere  
He that is lord ouyr fortune be thy stere  
 She blissid hir and with ful pitous vois  
 Vnto the cros of crist said she  
 O clere O woful auter holy croys  
 Rede of the lambis blood ful of pyte  
That wesshist the worlde fro old iniquite  
 Me fro the fend and fro his clawis kepe  
 That day that I shal drenche in the depe  
 Victorious tre of protection trewe  
 That only were ordeyned forto bere  
The kyng of heuen with his woundis newe  
 The whyte lamb that hurt was with a spere  
 Flemer of fendis out of hym and of here  
 Of whiche thy lymes feithfully extende  
 Me kepe and yeue me myght to amende  
Yeris and dayes fleet this creature  
 Thorow out the se of greek in to the streyte  
 Of Marrok as it was her auenture  
 O many a sory meel may she beyte  
 Aftir her deth ful ofte may she wayte  
Or that the wilde wawes wolde her dryue  
 Vnto the place where that she shal arryue  
 Men myghte aske why she was not slayn  
 And ek atte feste who myghte her body saue  
 And I answere to that demaunde agayn  
Who sauyd Daniel in the horrible Caue
