Of alle dayntye3 double, as derrest my3t falle;

For wothe that thou ne wonde

PART II

THIS hanselle hat3 Arthur of auenturus on fyrst
In 3onge ygher, for he ygherned yghelpyng to here.
Tha3 hym worde3 were wane when thay to sete wenten,
Now ar thay stoken of sturne werk, stafful her hond.
Gawan wat3 glad to begynne those gomnez in halle,
Bot tha3 the ende be heuy haf yghe no wonder;
For tha3 men ben mery in mynde quen thay han mayn drynk,
A 3ere yghernes ful ygherne, and yghelde3 neuer lyke,
The forme to the fynisment folde3 ful selden.
Forthi this Yghol ouer3ede, and the yghere after,
And vche sesoun serlepes sued after other:

After Crystenmasse com the crabbed lentoun,
That frayste3 flesch wyth the fysche and fode more symple;
Bot thenne the weder of the worlde wyth wynter hit threpe3,
Colde clenge3 adoun, cloudez vplyften,
Schyre schede3 the rayn in schowrez ful warme,
Falle3 vpon fayre flat, flowrez there schewen,
Bothe grounde3 and the greuez grene ar her wedez,
Brydde3 busken to bylde, and bremlych syngen
For solace of the softe somer that sues therafter
bi bonk;
And blossume3 bolne to blowe
Bi rawe3 rych and ronk,
Then note3 noble inno3e
Ar herde in wod so wlonk.
After the sesoun of somer wyth the soft wynde3
Quen Zeferus syfle3 hymself on sedez and erbez,
Wela wynne is the wort that waxes theroute,
When the donkande dewe drope3 of the leuez,
To bide a blysful blusch of the bry3t sunne.
Bot then hy3es heruest, and hardenes hym sone,
Warne3 hym for the wynter to wax ful rype;
He dryues wyth dro3t the dust for to ryse,
Fro the face of the folde to fly3e ful hyyghe;
Wrothe wynde of the welkyn wrastele3 with the sunne,
The leue3 lancen fro the lynde and ly3ten on the grounde,
