Abraham then said, now get you gone,
Let us no more hear of your din;
No lying wife as I suppone,
May enter here these gates within.

Denied your wife and made a lie;
O then I pray you let me be,
For I repent of all my sin,
Do thou but open the gate to me,
And let me quietly eome in.

That gate pertaineth to thy sell:
Of thy old trumperies I ean tell,
With two sisters thou led'st thy life
And the third part of these tribes twelve,
Thou got with maid's besides thy wife:
And stole thy father's bennison,
Only by fraud thy father frae;
