1892   That he hadde the body hole made
1893   To helpe hir sores, and to cure,
1894   And that they may the bette endure.
1895   But yit this arwe, without more,
1896   Made in myn herte a large sore,

1900   It spredde aboute in every side;
1901   Thorough whos vertu and whos myght
1902   Myn herte ioyful was and light.
1903   I hadde ben deed and alto shent
1904   But for the precious oynement.
1905   The shaft I drowe out of the Arwe,
1906   Rokyng for wo right wondir narwe;
1907   But the heed, which made me smerte,

1911   But the oynement halpe me wele.
1912   And yit sich sorwe dide I fele,
1913   That al day I chaunged hewe,
1914   Of my woundes fresshe and newe,
