Ye hearers, take it of worth, old and young,
And forsake Pride, for he deceiveth you in the end.
And save me from the fiend's boast,
That I may appear with that blessed host
That shall be saved at the day of doom.
I perceive, here in my majesty,
How that all creatures be to me unkind,
Living without dread in worldly prosperity

Except that Almsdeeds be his good friend,
In hell for to dwell, world without end.
