[Quondam was I in my Ladys gras]
Quondam was I in my Ladys gras,
I thynk as well as nou be you;
And when that you haue trod the tras,
Then shal you kno my woordes be tru,
That quondam was I.
I thynk as well as nou be you;
And when that you haue trod the tras,
Then shal you kno my woordes be tru,
That quondam was I.
Quondam was I. She sayd for euer:
That euer lastyd but a short whyl;
Promis mad not to dysseuer.
I thoght she laughte—she dyd but smyl:
Than quondam was I.
That euer lastyd but a short whyl;
Promis mad not to dysseuer.
I thoght she laughte—she dyd but smyl:
Than quondam was I.
Quondam was I: he that full oft lay
In hyr armes wythe kysses many whon.
Yt is enou that thys I may saey:
Tho amonge the moo nou I be gon,
Yet quondam was I.
In hyr armes wythe kysses many whon.
Yt is enou that thys I may saey:
Tho amonge the moo nou I be gon,
Yet quondam was I.

Quondam was I: yet she wyl you tell
That syns the ouer she was furst borne
She neuer louyd non halffe so well
As you. But what altho she had sworne,
Suer quondam was I.
That syns the ouer she was furst borne
She neuer louyd non halffe so well
As you. But what altho she had sworne,
Suer quondam was I.
