The wholesome sauours eke so comforting,

That as I demed, sith the beginning

Of the world was neur seene or than

So pleasaunt a ground of none earthly man.

And as I sat the birds harkening thus,

Me thought that I heard voices sodainly,

The most sweetest and most delicious

That euer any wight I trow truly

Heard in their life, for the armony

And sweet accord was in so good musike,
