Sometyme, as it semyth, when the mone light

By meanys of a grosely endarkyd clowde

Sodenly is eclipsid in the wynter night,

In lyke maner of wyse a myst did vs shrowde;

In derkenes thus dwelt we, tyll at the last 650

The clowdis gan[1630] to clere, the myst was rarifiid:

In an herber[1631] I saw, brought where I was,

There birdis on the brere sange on euery syde;
