R.17.103KD.17.114α
O mors ero mors tua . &cetera .R.17.103: This line appears only in alpha, and F alone continues the
quotation with morsus tuus ero inferne. Alford, Piers
Plowman: A Guide to the Quotations, notes that this O antiphon is "sung during Holy
Week (e.g. Brev. 1:dcclxxxii, dccci), based on Osee 13:14 (Cf. 1
Cor. 15:55)" (107). Hereafter, alpha omits a dozen lines attested in beta witnesses between
R17.103 and 104:
And þanne shal feith be forester here and in þis fritth walke
And kennen
out comune men þat knoweth nouȝte þe contre
Which is þe weye þat ich went and
wherforth to iherusalem
And hope þe hostelleres man shal be þere þe man lith an
helynge
And alle þat fieble and faynt be þat faith may nouȝt teche
Hope
shal lede hem forth with loue as his lettre telleth
And hostel hem and hele þorw
holicherche bileue
Tyl I haue salue for alle syke and þanne shal I retourne
And
come aȝein bi þis contree and confort alle syke
Þat craueth it or coueiteth it
and cryeth þereafter
For þe barne was born in bethleem þat with his blode shal saue
Alle þat lyueth in faith and folweth his felawes techynge.

And þanne shal Feiþ be forster here and in þis Fryth walke
