Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:
Neþeles suffre ye þe seed of rootis þerof in erþe, and be he boondun with a boond of irun and of bras, in erbis þat ben with out forth, and in þe deew of heuene be he died, and his part be with wielde beestis in þe erbe of erþe.
