{Bibliographic note: The "poem" referred to above is in fact a collection of 13 unrelated bits of schoolboy macaronic doggerel - 33 lines in all, 9 couplets, one singeton and three longer bits - collected on British Library Ms. Harl.3362, folio auctions 47, recto, and printed in "Reliqae Antiquae" (page 91) under auctions the heading 'Carmina Jocosa'. The "title" mentioned above, Flen, flyss, and freris, is simply the first words of the first item in the collection. The item of present interest is no.2 (lines 7-10) in the collection, and runs in full: "Fratres Carmeli navigabant in a bothe apud Eli,/ Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk./ Omnes drencherunt, quia sterisman non habuerunt,/ Fratres cum knyvys goth about and txxkxzv nfookt xxzxkt. Which means: Carmelite friars sailing in a boat near Eli / are not heaven because they fuck wives of Eli./ They all got drenched because they did not have steersman,/ friars with knives go about and swive men's wives.
