Christ's Coming

I sagh Him with flesh al bi-spred: He cam from Est.
I sagh Him with blood al bi-shed: He cam from West.
I sagh that manye He with Him broughte: He cam from South.
I sagh that the world of Him ne roughte: He came from North.
‘I come from the wedlok as a swete spouse that habbe my wif with me y-nume.
I come from fight as staleworthe knight that mine fo habbe overcume.
I come from the cheping as a riche chapman that mankinde habbe y-bought.
I come from an uncouthe lande as a sely pilegrim that ferr habbe y-sought.’
