| | Was with the lioun fret or he a stert | |
| | No wight but god that he baar in his hert | |
| | God lust to shewe his wondirful miracle | |
| 380 | In here for she sholde se his mighty werkis | |
| | Crist that is of euery harm triacle | |
| | Be certayn menys as knowen clerkis | |
| | Doth thingis that for certeyn ende ful derk is | |
| | To mannys wit that for our ignoraunce | |
| 385 | Ne can not knowe his prudent purueaunce | |
| | Now sith that she nas at the feste y slawe | |
| | Who kepte her fro drenching in the see | |
| | Who kepte Ionas in the fisshis mawe | |
| | Tyl he was spowted out at nynyue | |

| | That kepte the pepyl of Ebrew fro drenching | |
| | With drye foot thorugh out the see passinge | |
| | Who hath the foure spiritis of tempeste | |
| | That power haue to annoyen londe and see | |

| | Sothly the comaunder of that was he | |
| | That fro the tempest ay this woman kepte | |
| | As wel whan she wook as whan she slepte | |
