1 [E]rthe vppon erthe so wondyrly wrought,
Erthe opon erthe hath gete a dignite of nought,
Erthe opon erthe hath set all hys thought
How erthe opon erthe may on hyght be brought. 4

2 Erthe opon erthe wold be a kyng;
But how that erthe goth to erthe thynketh he nothyng.
When erthe byddyth erthe hys rent home bryng,
Than erthe from erthe hath full hard partyng. 8

3 Erthe opon erthe wynneth castelles and towres;
Than seyth erthe to erthe: 'Thys ys all owres'.
When erthe opon erthe hath bylde halles and bowres,
Then shall erthe fro erthe suffre sharpe showres. 12

4 Erthe goth opon erthe as molde opon molde,
Erthe goth opon erthe and glytereth as golde,
Lyke as erthe to erthe neu{er} go sholde.
And yet shall erthe to erthe rather then he wolde. 16

5 Why erthe loueth erthe wondyr I may thynke,
Or why erthe for erthe wyll other swete or s[w]ynke,
Ffor when erthe in-to erthe ys brought w{i}t{h}yn the brynke,
Than shall erthe of erthe haue a foule stynke. 20

6 Lo erthe opon erthe consider{e} well thow may
How erthe co{m}meth to erthe nakyd alway.
Why shuld erthe than opon erthe go stout and gay
Seth erthe in-to erthe shall passe in a pore aray? 24

7 I counsell erthe opon erthe that wykkyd hath wrought,
Whyle erthe ys opon erthe to torne vp hys thought,
And pray God opon erthe that all erthe hath wrought,
That erthe out of erthe to blysse may be brought. Amen. 28

This text (in MS. not written in metrical lines) preserves 9 stanzas of the 12-stanza version in MSS. Lambeth and Laud, and appears to represent a distinct and perhaps older copy of the original of these two. The mistake in v. 8 precludes its being the original.

De terra plasmasti me, _etc._

1 [1]Erþe out of erþe is wondirli wrou[gh]t,
Erþe of erþe haþ gete a dignite of nou[gh]t,
Erþe vpon erþe haþ sett al his þou[gh]t,
Howe þat erþe vpon erþe may be hi[gh] brou[gh]t. 4

2 Erþe vpon erþe wolde ben a king;
But how erþe schal to erþe þenkiþ he no þing;
Whanne þan erþe biddiþ erþe hise rentis hoom bring,
Þanne schal erþe out of erþe haue a piteuous p{ar}tinge. 8

3 Erþe vpon erþe wy{n}neþ castels and tours,
Þanne seiþ erþe to erþe: 'þis is all ouris.'
Whanne erþe vpon[2] erþe [haþ biggid][3] up his bouris,
Þan schal erþe for erþe for[4] suffre scharpe schouris. 12

4 Erþe gooþ upon erþe as molde upon moolde,
So gooþ erþe upon erþe al glitiringe in golde,
Lijk as erþe vnto erþe neu{er}e go scholde,
And [gh]it schal erþe vnto erþe raþir þan he wolde. 16

5 O þou [fol. 170, v^o] wrecchid erþe þat in þe erþe trauellist

To florische þe erþe, to peinte þe erþe wiþ wantowne aray,
[Gh]it schalt þou erþe for al þi erþe,
make þou it neu{er}e so queinte or gay,
Out of þis erþe in-to þe erþe,

6 O wrecchid man whi art þou proud þat art of erþe makid?
Hidir brou[gh]tist þou no schroud, but pore come þou and nakid.
Whanne þi soule is went out & þi bodi in[5] erþe rakid,
Þan bi [bodi][6] þat was rank & bilouid of al men is bihatid. 24

7 Out of þis erþe cam to þis erþe þis wantinge grarnement[7];
To hide þis erþe, to happe þis erþe, to him was cloþing lent;
But now[8] gooþ erþe upon erþe, ruli raggid & rent,
Þerfore schal erþe vndir þe erþe haue hidous turment. 28

8 Þ{er}fore þ{o}u erþe vpon erþe þat wikkidli hast wrou[gh]t,
While þat erþe is upon erþe turne a[gh]en þi þou[gh]t,
& pray to God vpon erthe þat [al þe erþe haþ][9] wrou[gh]t,
Þat erþe vpon erþe to blis may be brou[gh]t. 32

9 Now Lord þat erþe madist for erþe & suffridist peines ille,
Lete neu{er}e þis erþe for þis erþe mischeue ne spille,
But þat þis erþe in þis erþe be euere worchinge þi wille,
So that erþe fro þis erþe stie vp to þin hi[gh] hille. AMEN. 36

Memento homo quod cinis es. et in cinerem reuerteris.
Ffac bene dum viuis. post mortem viu{er}e si vis.
