1413. Benedicite, omnia opera; still in use in our morning service; counted as the 'fifth psalm.'
1415. Laudate dominum, Ps. cxlviii; the 'sixth psalm.' The seventh and eighth are passed over.
1416. O admirabile; the anthem. The E. version is:—'O thou wonderful chaunge! the makere of mankynde, takynge a bodi with a soule of a maide vouchide sauf be bore [born]; and so, forth-goynge man, with-outen seed, yaf to us his godhede'; Prymer, p. 12. The 'chapter' and hymn are omitted.

1434. 'She gadereth floures, party whyte and rede To make a sotil garland'; C. T., A 1053.
1436. This is exactly like 'the battle of the flowers,' as seen in Italy.
1437. the gold, the marigold; see C. T., A 1929.
1440. trew-love; a name for herb paris (Paris quadrifolia). But as the 'true-love' is described as being plited, i.e. folded, it must rather be supposed to mean a true lover's knot or love-knot, which was simply a bow of ribbon given as a token of affection, and frequently worn by the lover afterwards. The bestowal of this token nearly made an end of him.
