Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Whanne thou were wood ayens me, thi pride stiede in to myn eeris; þerfor Y schal sette a ryng in thi nosethirlis, and a bridil in thi lippis; and Y schal lede þee ayen in to þe weie, bi which thou camest.
