Bereth eek thise holsom herbes, as ful ofte

Next the foule netle, rough and thikke,

The rose waxeth swote and smothe and softe;

950

And next the valey is the hil a-lofte;

And next the derke night the glade morwe;

And also Ioye is next the fyn of sorwe.

137. Now loke that atempre be thy brydel,

And, for the beste, ay suffre to the tyde,
