The same Christ dineth with Simon to day, Who commanded to prepare the table in all haste, Help to make all ready, and the cloth to lay, For surely here he purposeth to take his repast. By God he shall have sour sauce it may hap, Do thy part, and surely I purpose to watch, It shall be hard, but we will take him in a trap, He shall find him here that will him match. Go and fetch trenchers, spoons, salt and bread, See whether the cooks be ready also I pray thee. They will come to dinner I dare lay my head, Before that all things prepared well shall be. A straw, all this gear will quickly be done, The cooks be ready also I am sure. Let me see, by'r lady it is almost noon, I marvel that they can so long fasting endure. Yonder they come, turn thy face out of sight, Thou must make courtesy down to the ground. I would he were hanged by God and by this light. For never before this day was I thus bound. Sir now are you welcome, I pray you come near, Fetch in meat sirs, I pray you quickly. I promise you I bid you for no good cheer, But such as it is, you are welcome heartily. Pleaseth it you to wash sir, here is water, Let not yonder beggarly fellow wash with you, Can you not a while dissemble the matter? It is no time to talk of such gear now. Will you sit sir, bring hither a cushion and a stool. Set it down I say there, there at the table's end. Here is a business with a beggarly fool. It grieveth me the time about him to spend. Go to, you are welcome hitherto my master Simon Think yourself at home in your own place. I thank you sir, I will sit down even anon, But first we will praise God, and say our grace. Blessed art thou heavenly father, which of thy mercy Hast made man to thine own image and similitude Which through Satan's wicked malice and envy Was spoiled of thy grace and of ghostly fortitude. But at this time of thy mercy appointed, Thou hast looked on man, of thy compassion, And sent thine own son with thy spirit anointed, Which for his sin shall make satisfaction. Let all creatures praise thee for their creation, Glory to thy name for their preservation, Laude and honour to thee for their restoration, All thanks to thee for eternal salvation, I pray you sit down, I pray you hearty, You are welcome, I pray you eat such as is here, Go to, I would not have you to make any courtesy, I am sorry that for you I have no better cheer. It is simple cheer as you say in deed, It is to good for him by the Mass, Hay is good enough for him thereon to feed, Or for any such foolish ass.

Go and fetche trenchers, spoones, salt and bread, See whether the cookes be ready also I pray thee. They will come to dynner I dare lay my head, Before that all things prepared well shall be. A straw, all this geare wyll quickly be doone, The cookes be ready also I am sure. Let me see, byr lady it is almost noone, I maruell that they can so long fastyng endure.
