I sing of a tyme and plas lang gonne
I sing of a londe of songen old an new
Hwar alle tymes metten with alle plas as one
Hwar alle thinges to alle menne myhte oe a day rygne trewe.
For I wolde bilden a gret cherche of song
Hwar all weys are neyther riht ne wrong
Hwar alle may wondrien tyme an again
For himself to loesen in dremis of swete refrain.
