{Dunstanus}
Alle halwin soule glad buþ · þat in heuene buþ ydo ·
Þat siwede oure louirdis wei · ⁊ vor hii sschedde al so ·
Hore blod vor is swete loue · þer vor hii sschulliþ wone ·
⁊ kingis be wiþoute ende · wiþ crist godisone ·
¶ Þis hanteyn þat murie is · as þat vowe · yhurdin alle ·
Þe harpe songe al him sulf · as he henge by þe walle ·
Vaire graec oure louird him sschewid þere · wan þa^t ded tre ·
Sscholde singe of þulke ioye · þa^t he sscholde in be ·
¶ Þis holi man hadde yleuid · anerþe many aday ·
⁊ is hende day was ney ycome · as he him sulf y say ·
An holi þorseday he worþ wike · as it vel in þe ȝere ·
Het of sende is frendis · þat specialis him were ·
¶ His men þa^t him seruid ek · he let of clupie also ·
⁊ vor ȝaf hom alle hore trespas · þa^t hii him hadde misdo ·
And asoylid him of hore sunne · ⁊ in godis bendis lay ·
⁊ so he lay al þulke time · ⁊ al so þan friday
¶ He let clupie þan satirday · þe freris byuore him alle ·
⁊ bad hom habbe godneday · ⁊ sede wat sscholde biualle
And let him do alle is riȝtis · ⁊ oure louirdis flessche he nom ·
Is soule wende out of þe liue · ⁊ wel sone to heuene com ·
¶ Nien hundrid ȝer ⁊ vour score · ⁊ in þe eȝteþe ȝere ·
He deide aftir þat oure louird an erþe liȝte here ·
Nou swete louird seint dunston · þa^t oure erchebusschop were ·
Bringe ous to þe ioye of heuene · þer angelus þine soule bere ·
