þe sunne schoon ful myrie þat tide,
I took myn hauk al for to play,
Mi spaynel rennyng bi my side.
A feisaunt hen soone gan y se,
Myn hound put up ful fair to flight,
I sente my faukun, y leet him flee:
It was to me a deinteouse sight.
'My faukun fligh faste to his pray,
I ran þo with a ful glad chere,
I spurned ful soone on my way,
