¶ Yit nas the grownd nat wownded with þe plowh

But corn vp-sprong vnsowe of mannes hond

Þe which they gnodded and eete nat half .I.-nowh

No man yit knewe the forwes of his lond [12]

No man the fyr owt of the flynt yit fonde

Vn-koruen and vn-grobbed lay the vyne

No man yit in the morter spices grond

To clarre ne to sawse of galentyne [16]

¶ No Madyr welde or wod no litestere

Ne knewh / the fles was of is former hewe
