from “Romaunt of the Rose” The birdés that had left their song While they had suffer’d cold full strong In weathers grill and derk to sight, Ben in May for the sunné bright, So glad that they showe in singing That in their heart is such liking, That they mote singen and ben light; Then doth the nightingale her might To maken noise and singen blithe; Then is blissful, many a sithe, The chelaundre and the popinjay; Then youngé folk intenden, aye, For to ben gay and amorous, The time is then so savorous.
