(104v) Got, mit Trivallt genennet,*
Vater, Sun, und auch Gaist,

Drumb allmechtigkait ist dir zu̇e gezallte.
Darumb ich, Herre, schreye

durch dein herr namen dreye
das du erhörst umb das wir zu̇e dir ru̇effen
in disem zäher tal hie so ellennde,
wo unns lag legt der Helle wirt.
Den var dein gothait väterleich unns wennde.
Man thu̇et geschrifft recht so mischen
und wider rugken piegen.
Valsch gunterfait enꜩwischen
secʒt man, da mit ainr thu̇et den annderen triegen.
Es wirt veracht trewÌ , recht, brief und auchsigel.
Greyf zu̇e, helfflicher, su̇esser Got,*

Vor zeitten, den man lobet

Jeꜩ dy wellt darumb tobet
und thu̇et mit valsch im menngen under schwangk.
Man wil in eeren und habe drumb pehergen.
Fraw Eer, sagt mir: Wie kummet das?
‘Merck, Ůlrich: Dy rätt geben der Helle schergen.*
Ich mags euch nicht zu̇e messen,*
allain den reichait plossen

Ich merck es auch an edeln fürsten grossen:
So aim Fraw Säld thu̇et eer und lob zu̇e scheiben,
so secʒet für unhail mit wer,
das er sol an der anndern zal peleyben.
HEREAFTER FOLLOWS THE KNIGHTLY ADVENTURE OF SIR IBANAND HOW, WITH HIS KNIGHTLY HAND, HE WON IN COMBATTHE QUEEN, LADY LAUDINE, AND HER LAND, CALLEDASCALON*
God, celebrated as the Trinity of*
Father, Son, and Spirit too,
but recognized as one god,
since you know the thoughts of all hearts,*
nothing can conceal itself from your power,
in Heaven or on Earth.
For this reason, omnipotence is attributed to you.
Therefore, Lord, I cry out
to your profound mercy,
and by your three blessed names,*
that you hear for what we call out to you
here in this most wretched vale of tears,
where the hellish host lays traps for us.*
