"Lord, you called to me ... "
Louerd, thu clepedest me
And ich naght ne ansuarede the
Bute wordes scloe and sclepie:
'Thole yet, thole a litel.'

[ As a matter of strictly tangential interest, or perhaps not, two versions
of this are incorporated in a poem entitled "Regarding the World" on pages

press, in the unlikely case anyone still doesn't have a copy.) ]
