1 Ascribed to Paul.

In 415-416, the rest of the verse is very freely paraphrased:

The two verses are wrongly conjoined.

He gerned moche to ete hys fylle

Of pe crummes þat þe ryche man ded spyl,...
But þe ryche mannes houndes

Come and lykked Lazares woundes.
Sone aftyrward deyde Lazare,...

Goddes aungeles þe soule nam,

And bare hyt yn-to be bosum of Abraham....
Fyl auenture,...

pys ryche man sone aftyr deyde,

(Hys soule was bore to Lucyfere), . . .

And, as he was þere yn pyne,

He loked vpwarde with hys yne,
And sagh Lazere, pe pore man,
Yn þe bosum of Abraham.
And, as he mygt, he gaue a cry
And seyd, Abraham, mercy, mercy!
Late Lazare hys o fynger wete,
And droppe on my tunge for hete;
For y am yn endles peyne,

Yn fyre and yn leye certeyne.

And Abraham spak,...

Sone! menest pou nat what y er seyd?

pou receyuedyst þe wurldys blys,

And Lazare, pouert and peyne, ywys....

Now ys Lazare euer yn solace,

And pou yn sorow, with-oute grace....
Swych sykernes ys betwyx zow two,
þat noun of vs to gow may go,
None of vs to gow may come....
pan preyde pe ryche man Abraham,
Pat he wulde1 sende Lazare,...
To hys breþryn alle fyue, . .

...

þat þey neuer hedyr be sent,
With me, yn þys hete, to be brent.
