'A blysful lyf þou says I lede;
Þou woldeȝ knaw þerof þe stage. 50
Þow wost wel when þy perle con schede
I watȝ ful ȝong and tender of age;
Bot my Lorde þe Lombe, þurȝ Hys Godhede,
He toke myself to Hys maryage,
Corounde me quene in blysse to brede 55
In lenghe of dayeȝ þat euer schal wage;
And sesed in alle Hys herytage
Hys lef is, I am holy Hysse;
