I SING OF A MAIDEN

  I syng of a mayden
    That is mak{.e}les;
Kyng of all{.e} kyng{.e}s
    To here Son{.e} sche ches.

  He cam also stylle
    There his moder was
As dew in Aprylle
    That fallyt on the gras;

  He cam also stylle
    To his moderes bowr
As dew in Aprille
    That fallyt on the flour;

  He cam also stylle
    There his moder lay
As dew in Aprille
    That fallyt on the spray;

  Moder and maydyn
    Was never non but sche;
Wel may swych a lady
    God{.e}s moder be.
