 Thou glorye of whomanhed thou faire may  
 Thou hauen of refut bright sterre of day  
Rewe on my child that of thy gentilnesse  
 Rewest on euery synful in distresse

 As leet my litil child dwelle here with the  
 And if thou darst not saue hym fro blame  
 So kys hym onys in his fadres name  
 Therwith she lokith bacward to the lond  
And saide fare wel husbond routhlees  
 And vp she goth & walkith doun the stronde  
 Toward her ship here folowith al the prees  
 And euer she praieth hir childe to holde his pees  
 And takith her leue with an holy entent  
She blissith her and in to the ship she went  
 Vitaylid was the ship it is no drede  
 Habundauntly for her long space  
 And othir necessaries that sholde nede  
 She hadde ynow heried be goddis grace  
For wynd & wedir almyghty god purchace  
 And brynge her hoom I can no bettir sey  
 But in the see she dryueth forth the wey  
 ALla the kyng sone aftir this  
 Vnto his Castel of whiche I tolde  
Askyd where his wyf and his childe is  
 The Constabil gan aboute his hert to colde
