Lully, lulley, lully, lulley, The faucon hath born my mak away. He bare hym up, he bare hym down, He bare hym into an orchard brown. In that orchard ther was an hall, That was hanged with purpill and pall. And in that hall ther was a bede, Hit was hangid with gold so rede. And yn that bed ther lythe a knyght, His wowndes bledyng day and nyght. By that bedes side ther kneleth a may, And she wepeth both nyght and day. And by that bedes side ther stondith a ston, "Corpus Christi" wretyn theron.
