Of my lady well me rejoise I may!

Hir golden forheed is full narw and smal;

Hir browes been lik to dim, reed coral;

And as the jeet hir yen glistren ay.

Of my lady, etc.

Hir bowgy cheekes been as softe as clay,

With large jowes and substancial.

Of my lady, etc.

Hir nose a pentice is that it ne shal

Reine in hir mouth thogh she uprightes lay.

Of my lady, etc.

Hir mouth is nothing scant with lippes gray;

Hir chin unnethe may be seen at al.

Hir comly body shape as a footbal,

And she singeth full like a papejay.

Of my lady, etc.
