With levis lade the boughes of great brede;

And to my dome there never was indede

Man, that had seene halfe so faire a tre;

For underneath there might it well have be

A hundred persons at their owne plesaunce,

Shadowed fro the heat of Phebus bright,

So that they should have felt no grevaunce

Of raine ne haile that hem hurte might,

The savour, eke, rejoice would any wight

That had be sicke or melancolious;
