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,
