Therwith a wind, unnethe hit might be lesse,

Made in the leves grene a noise softe

Acordant to the foules songe on-lofte.

The air of that place so attempre was

That never was grevaunce of hoot ne cold;

Ther wex eek every holsom spyce and gras,

Ne no man may ther wexe seek ne old;

Yet was ther Ioye more a thousand fold

Then man can telle; ne never wolde it nighte,
