Bodleian MS. Rawlinson C. 288, f. 113 (15th-century writing, blurred).
I comawnde alle þe ratones þat are here abowte,
Þat non dwelle in þis place, withinne ne withowte,
Thorgh þe vertu of Iesu Crist, þat Mary bare abowte,
Þat alle creatures owyn for to lowte,
And thorgh þe vertu of Mark, Mathew, Luke, an Ion,— 5
Alle foure Awangelys corden into on,—
Thorgh þe vertu of Sent Geretrude, þat mayde clene,
God graunte þat grace
Þat <non> raton dwelle in þe place
Þat here namis were nemeled in; 10
And thorgh þe vertu of Sent Kasi,
Þat holy man, þat prayed to God Almyty
For skathes þat þei deden
Hys medyn
Be dayes and be nyȝt, 15
God bad hem flen and gon out of euery manesse syȝt.
_Dominus Deus Sabaot!_ Emanuel, þe gret Godes name!
I betweche þes place from ratones and from alle oþer schame.
God saue þis place fro alle oþer wykked wytes,
Boþe be dayes and be nytes! _et in nomine Patris et Filii_, 20
&c.
