This columbyne clere[1845] and fresshest of coloure,

This delycate dasy, this strawbery pretely set,

With frowarde frostis, alas, was all to-fret! 1450

But who may haue a[1846] more vngracyous[1847] lyfe

Than a chyldis birde and a knauis wyfe?

Notate verba, signata mysteria: Gregori.

Thynke what ye wyll

Of this wanton byll;
