Heo Sede "no3t i ne wepe

But ase i lay aslepe

To the se my net i caste

And hit nolde nogt i laste,

A gret fiss at the furste
Mi net he gan to berste,

Ihc wene that ihc schal leose

The fiss that ihc wolde cheose.

657-664.

Thu wenest ibeo a beggere,

And ihc am a fissere,

Wel feor icome bi este

For fissen at thi feste;

Mi net lith her bi honde
By a wel fair stronde

Hit hath ileie there
Fulle seve 3ere.

Ihc am icome to loke

Ef eni fiss hit toke

Ihc am icome to fisse ;
Drink to me of disse

Drink to Horn of horne

Feor ihc am iorne.
