Of the world was never seene er than

So pleasaunt a ground of none earthly man.

And as I sat the birds hearkening thus,

Me thought that I heard voices sodainly,

The most sweetest and most delicious

That ever any wight I trow truly

Heard in their life, for the armony

And sweet accord was in so good musike,

That the voice to angels most was like.

At the last, out of a grove even by,
