The trees were set even, five fathom or six from one another.

In places saw I wèlles there

In whiche ther no froggès were

And fair in shadwe was every welle;

But I ne can the nombre telle

Of stremès smale that by device

Mirth had done comè through coundys,

Of which the water in renning

Can make a noyse ful lyking.

The dreamer finds Sir Mirth and a company of fair folk and fresh, dancing a carole.
