Hit wes þare vle erdingstowe.
Þe Nihtegale hi iseyh.
30 ⁊ hi biholdeþ. and ouer seyh.
⁊ þuhte wel ful of þare vle.
For me hi halt. lodlich ⁊ fule. |
vnwyht heo seide a wey þu fleo.
Me is þe wurs. þat ich þe iseo.
35 Iwis for þine wle lete.
wel ofte ich my song fur lete
Min heorte atflyhþ· ⁊ falt my tunge.
