¶ This Nicholas / was risen for to pisse

And thoghte / he wolde amenden al the Iape
He sholde kisse his ers / er that he scape
And vp the wyndow / dide he hastely
And out his ers / he putteth pryuely
615
Ouer the buttok to the haunche bon

¶ And therwith / spak this clerk this Absolon
Spek swete herte / I noot noght wher thow art
This Nicholas / anoon leet fle a fart
As greet as it hadde been a thonder dent
620
That with the strook he was almoost yblent

And he was redy / with his Iren hoot
And Nicholas / in the ers he smoot
Of gooth the skyn / an handbrede aboute
The hoote cultour / brende so his toute
625
That for the smert he wende for to dye

As he were wood / for wo he gan to crye
Help water / /water help for goddes herte
¶ This Carpenter / out of his slomber sterte
And herde oon cryen water / as he were wood
630
And thoghte allas / now cometh Nowelys flood

He sette hym vp / withoute wordes mo
And with his Ax / he smoot the corde atwo
And down gooth al / he foond neither to selle
Ne breed ne ale / til he cam to the Celle
