II. THE FALL OF MAN.
Adam. Holy ffadyr blyssyd thou be,
ffor I may walke in welthe anow,
I ffynde datys gret plenté,
And many ffele frutes ful every bow;
Alle this wele is ȝevyn to me,
And to my wyf that on me lowh,
I have no nede to towche ȝon tre,
Aȝens my lordys wyl to werke now;
I am a good gardenere;
