Gilbert at the end of his edition of the Poem of the Passion, and in a much revised form by Canon Williams at the end of his Lexicon. Keigwin's version was printed by D. Gilbert at the end of his edition of Jordan's Creation. There are many verbal variations from the Gwavas copies in the printed editions.
