tenderly he united them;
ac thaer bith sor idol. but there is a sad portion
that bodeth that bearn. 10 which awaits that child.
thonne hit iboren bith. When it is born;
hit _woan_eth and maenet theo weowe. it waileth, and bemoans the woe,
and thene seoruhfule sith. and the sorrowful time,
and that sori idol. and that sad lot,
that soule schal _hire li_came. 15 that shall the soul from her body
sorliche idaelen. sadly separate.
Forthon hit cumeth weopinde. Therefore it cometh weeping,
and woniende iwiteth. and wailing departeth,
_thonne D_eath mid his pricke. when Death, with his dart,
pineth thene licame. 20 pineth the body.
He walketh and wendeth. He walketh and goeth,
and woneth _his si_thes. and bewails his destiny;
he saeith on his bedde. he saith, on his bed,
wo me that ic libbe. Wo me! that I live;
that aeffre min lif dawes. 25 that ever my life
thus _lon_ge me ilesteth. so long endureth.
for heui is his greoning. For heavy is his groaning,
and seohrful is his woaning. and sorrowful his wailing.
