For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
For thou art maad strengþe to a pore man, strengþe to a nedi man in his tribulacioun, hope fro whirlwynd, a schadewyng place fro heete; for whi þe spirit of stronge men is as a whirlewynd hurlynge þe wal.
