| 1 | Whethir thou knowist the tyme of birthe of wielde geet in stoonys, ethir hast thou aspied hyndis bryngynge forth calues? |
| 2 | Hast thou noumbrid the monethis of her conseyuyng, and hast thou knowe the tyme of her caluyng? |
| 3 | Tho ben bowid to the calf, and caluen; and senden out roryngis. |
| 4 | Her calues ben departid, and goen to pasture; tho goen out, and turnen not ayen to `tho hyndis. |
| 5 | Who let go the wielde asse fre, and who loside the boondis of hym? |
| 6 | To whom Y haue youe an hows in wildirnesse, and the tabernacles of hym in the lond of saltnesse. |
| 7 | He dispisith the multitude of citee; he herith not the cry of an axere. |
| 8 | He lokith aboute the hillis of his lesewe, and he sekith alle greene thingis. |
| 9 | Whether an vnycorn schal wilne serue thee, ethir schal dwelle at thi cratche? |
| 10 | Whether thou schalt bynde the vnicorn with thi chayne, for to ere, ethir schal he breke the clottis of valeis aftir thee? |
| 11 | Whether thou schalt haue trist in his grete strengthe, and schalt thou leeue to hym thi traueils? |
| 12 | Whether thou schalt bileue to hym, that he schal yelde seed to thee, and schal gadere togidere thi cornfloor? |
| 13 | The fethere of an ostriche is lijk the fetheris of a gerfawcun, and of an hauk; |
| 14 | which ostrige forsakith hise eirun in the erthe, in hap thou schalt make tho hoot in the dust. |
| 15 | He foryetith, that a foot tredith tho, ethir that a beeste of the feeld al tobrekith tho. |
| 16 | He is maad hard to hise briddis, as if thei ben not hise; he traueilide in veyn, while no drede constreynede. |
| 17 | For God hath priued hym fro wisdom, and `yaf not vnderstondyng to hym. |
| 18 | Whanne tyme is, he reisith the wengis an hiy; he scorneth the hors, and his ridere. |
| 19 | Whether thou schalt yyue strengthe to an hors, ether schal yyue neiyng `aboute his necke? |
| 20 | Whether thou schalt reyse hym as locustis? The glorie of hise nosethirlis is drede. |
| 21 | He diggith erthe with the foot, he `fulli ioieth booldli; he goith ayens armed men. |
| 22 | He dispisith ferdfulnesse, and he yyueth not stide to swerd. |
| 23 | An arowe caas schal sowne on hym; a spere and scheeld schal florische. |
| 24 | He is hoot, and gnastith, and swolewith the erthe; and he arettith not that the crie of the trumpe sowneth. |
| 25 | Whanne he herith a clarioun, he `seith, Joie! he smellith batel afer; the excityng of duykis, and the yellyng of the oost. |
| 26 | Whether an hauk spredinge abrood hise wyngis to the south, bigynneth to haue fetheris bi thi wisdom? |
| 27 | Whether an egle schal be reisid at thi comaundement, and schal sette his nest in hiy places? |
| 28 | He dwellith in stoonys, and he dwellith in flyntis brokun bifor, and in rochis, to whiche `me may not neiye. |
| 29 | Fro thennus he biholdith mete, and hise iyen loken fro fer. |
| 30 | Hise briddis souken blood, and where euere a careyn is, anoon he is present. |
