- 2 Thin indignacioun ceesse aboute vs; for it is betere, that we lyue and serue Nabugodonosor, the grete kyng, and be suget to thee, than that we die, and suffre with oure perischyng the harmes of oure seruage.
- 3 Ech citee of oure, al possessioun, alle munteyns, and litle hillis, and feeldis, and droues of oxes, and flockis of scheep, and of geet,

- 10 and `resseyueden hym with corouns and laumpis, and ledden daunsis with pipis and tympans.
- 11 Netheles thei doynge these thingis myyten not swage the fersnesse of his herte;
- 12 for whi bothe he distriede her citees, and hew doun her wodis.
- 13 For kyng Nabugodonosor hadde comaundid to hym, that he schulde distrie alle the goddis of erthe, that is, that he aloone schulde be seid god of alle these naciouns, that myyten be maad suget bi the power of Holofernes.
