Þis holi mon hadde gr^et wonder : þa^t heo was her ⁊ þere •
He sat longe ⁊ biþoȝte him narwe : ho it were •
Þo he biþoȝte him ho it was : he arauȝte him ner is tonge
⁊ leide in þe hote fure : ⁊ spac vayre wel longe •
Uorte þe tonge was al afure : ⁊ seþþe stille Inouȝ •
Þe deuel he hente bi þe nese : ⁊ wel uaste drouȝ
He tuengde ⁊ schok hire bi þe nese : þa^t þa^t fur out blaste •
Þe deuel wrickede her ⁊ þer : ⁊ he huld euer vaste •
He ȝal ⁊ hupte ⁊ drouȝ aȝen : ⁊ made grⁱslich bere
He nolde uor al is biȝete : þa^t he hadde icome þere •
Wiþ is tonge he schok is nese : ⁊ twengd him euer sore •
Uorte it was wiþþinne nuȝte : þa^t he ne miȝte se namore
Þe screwe was glad ⁊ bliþe Inouȝ : þo he was out of is hond •
He fley ⁊ gradde bi þe lust : þa^t me hurde in to al þa^t lond •
Out wat haþ þis calwe ido : wat haþ þis calwe ido •
In þe contreie me hurde wide : hou þe screwe gr^adde so •
As good þe screwe hadde ibe : halbe isnut acom is nese
He ne heide namore þuderward : to telie him of þe pose •
Þis holi abbod seyn dunston : hadde gr^et poer
Wiþ kyng edmond þa^t was þo : ⁊ was is conseler
After kyng edmondes deþe : a gode wule þer was agon •
{Edmundus R.}
Þa^t edwyne is sone was kyng ymad : ⁊ noȝt after anon •
{Edwynus [?]
fil}
Þis edwyne hadde vuel red : ⁊ þa^t after he drouȝ •
Wiþ seyn dunston he was wroþ : siker wiþ gr^et wouȝ
Of is abbeie he dude him out : ⁊ dude him schame Inouȝ •
Þe more schame þa^t he him dude : þe more þe godemon louȝ •
He drof him out of engelond : ⁊ let him crⁱe fleme •
{Edwyn exiled
dunston .}
Þis godemon wende norþ wel glad : ne tok he neuer ȝeme •
To þe abbeye of seyn amaund : biȝonde se he drouȝ •
⁊ soiornde þer longe : ⁊ ladde goold lif Inouȝ •
After kyng edwynes deþ : Edgar þa^t was is broþer •
Was kyng Imad uor he was : ner þen eny oþer •
Swiþe godmon he bicom : ⁊ louede holi churche •
⁊ ech man þa^t him þerto radde : after him gan wurche •
Me tolde him of seyn dunston : þa^t is broþer drof of engelonde •
Wiþ unriȝt vor is godnesse : ⁊ gan him vnderstonde •
After him he sende anon : þa^t he com aȝen sone •
⁊ bileuede is conseler : of þa^t he hadde to done •
{Edgar called
back Dunstan}
Seyn dunston com hom aȝen : ⁊ vayre was vnderuonge •
