10 Who schal fynde a stronge womman? the prijs of her is fer, and fro the laste endis.11 The herte of hir hosebond tristith in hir; and sche schal not haue nede to spuylis.12 Sche schal yelde to hym good, and not yuel, in alle the daies of hir lijf.13 Sche souyte wolle and flex; and wrouyte bi the counsel of hir hondis.14 Sche is maad as the schip of a marchaunt, that berith his breed fro fer.15 And sche roos bi nyyt, and yaf prey to hir meyneals, and metis to hir handmaidis.16 Sche bihelde a feeld, and bouyte it; of the fruyt of hir hondis sche plauntide a vyner.17 Sche girde hir leendis with strengthe, and made strong hir arm.18 Sche taastide, and siy, that hir marchaundie was good; hir lanterne schal not be quenchid in the niyt.19 Sche putte hir hondis to stronge thingis, and hir fyngris token the spyndil.20 Sche openyde hir hond to a nedi man, and stretchide forth hir hondis to a pore man.21 Sche schal not drede for hir hous of the cooldis of snow; for alle hir meyneals ben clothid with double clothis.22 Sche made to hir a ray cloth; bijs and purpur is the cloth of hir.23 Hir hosebonde is noble in the yatis, whanne he sittith with the senatours of erthe.24 Sche made lynnun cloth, and selde; and yaf a girdil to a Chananei.25 Strengthe and fairnesse is the clothing of hir; and sche schal leiye in the laste dai.26 Sche openyde hir mouth to wisdom; and the lawe of merci is in hir tunge.27 Sche bihelde the pathis of hir hous; and sche eet not breed idili.28 Hir sones risiden, and prechiden hir moost blessid; hir hosebonde roos, and preiside hir.29 Many douytris gaderiden richessis; thou passidist alle.30 Fairnesse is disseiuable grace, and veyn; thilke womman, that dredith the Lord, schal be preisid.31 Yyue ye to hir of the fruyt of hir hondis; and hir werkis preise hir in the yatis.
