@=thorn #=yogh $=caesura
H P001 In a somer seson $whan soft was the sonne
H P002 I shope me in shroudes $as I a shepe were
H P003 In habite as an heremite $vnholy of workes
H P004 Went wyde in this world $wondres to here
H P005 Ac on a May mornynge $on Maluerne hulles
H P006 Me byfel a ferly $of fairy me thou#te
H P007 I was wery forwandred $and went me to reste
H P008 Vnder a brode banke $bi a bornes side
H P009 And as I lay and lened $and loked in the wateres
H P010 I slombred in a slepyng $it sweyued so merye
H P011 Thanne gan I to meten $a merueilouse sweuene
H P012 That I was in a wildernesse $wist I neuer where
H P013 As I bihelde in-to the est $an hiegh to the sonne
H P014 I seigh a toure on a toft $trielich ymaked
H P015 A depe dale binethe $a dongeon there-inne
H P016 With depe dyches and derke $and dredful of sight
H P017 A faire felde ful of folke $fonde I there b . . .
