item a salio ‥ hec ~a, -e, i. fractura viarum vel molle lutum in via, eo quod facile saliat
post elaboratas viarum ~as
ipsum ‥ per viarum amfractus et ~as ‥ deduxerunt
circiter hanc artem fortasse videtur ‥ / ‥ limes salebrosus ‥ speculeris in illis [verbis ], / invenietur ibi ‥ / quo pede transcurras salebras
nec est semita plana qua itur ad gaudia plena; immo eciam ad mediocria per ~as evadimus
scribas ergo, Gilleberte [sc. Foliot ] ‥ suavi serenitate ~as apperi salubres, asperum planans iter, et reflexos dirige calles
squamigerum ‥ virgo celydrum / ‥ in vacuas jussit reptare salebras
lutee ‥ ~e que civitatem a castris dirimebant, et transitum nullum vel difficilem sinebant
sicut ad hostem impediendum facilius ~as et angustias transeundi miles cautus observat
in campum tritico de novo satum, ubi vix standi ‥ vel progrediendi facultas esset propter ~as solique moliciem
quod ipse et heredes sui diversos saltus sive ~as in clausura parci sui apud Stourton quociens et ubi sibi placuerit pro feris ibidem ingrediend’ libere facere possint
scurrarum ‥ / qui malunt vatum scedas lacerare canentum, / dum furvas verbi quaerunt in luce tenebras, / planaque rimantur tortas per rura salebras [v. l. salibras ]
hujus vite diligenter toleravit salebras
jam gravis electam purgarat sarcina mentem, / excoctumque diu solito fraglamine pectus / concipit internas Jesu spirante salebras
lava nos aspera de mundi salebra
