‘Now iwysse,’ quoþ Wowayn, ‘wysty is here;

Þis oritore is vgly, with erbez ouergrowen;

Wel bisemez þe wyȝe wruxled in grene

Dele here his deuocioun on þe deuelez wyse.
Now I fele hit is þe fende, in my fyue wyttez,
Þat hatz stoken me þis steuen to strye me here.
Þis is a chapel of meschaunce, þat chekke hit bytyde!
Hit is þe corsedest kyrk þat euer I com inne!
