The convent* lay eke on the pavement *all the monks

Weeping, and herying* Christ's mother dear. *praising

And after that they rose, and forth they went,

And took away this martyr from his bier,

And in a tomb of marble stones clear

Enclosed they his little body sweet;

Where he is now, God lene* us for to meet. *grant

O younge Hugh of Lincoln!<13> slain also

With cursed Jewes, — as it is notable,

For it is but a little while ago, —

Pray eke for us, we sinful folk unstable,

That, of his mercy, God so merciable* *merciful

On us his greate mercy multiply,

For reverence of his mother Mary.
