The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil 'to come'.
A iust man perischith, and noon is, þat þenkith in his herte; and men of merci ben gaderid togidere, for noon is þat vndurstondith; for whi a iust man is gaderid fro þe face of malice.
