Gentil and jolif, as brid on ris[120];

Nought o man amonges hem ther nis;

And ich a faucoun on hond bere,

And riden on haukin bi o rivere,

Of game thai founde wel gode haunt,

Maulardes, hayroun, and cormeraunt;

The foules of the water ariseth,

The faucouns hem wele deviseth,

Ich faucoun his pray slough:

That seighe Orfeo, and lough.
