| I am in age and my shape is withered many a day I have been going astray When I was young my deeds were evil I delighted greatly in quarrels and rows I liked much better to be playing or drinking on a Sunday morning than to be going to Mass I was given to great oaths and I did not let lust or drunkenness pass me by | B |

| The day has stolen away and I have not raised the hedge until the crop in which Thou didst take delight is destroyed I am a worthless stake in the corner of a hedge or I am like a boat that has lost its rudder that would be broken against a rock in the sea and that would be drowned in the cold waves | C |
