Moralitas.
Och, nefer bydde ane bad mynstrelle playe,
Nor seye his mynstrelsye,
Onlesse your wyne be in your hande,
And your ladye in your e'e.
Nor seye his mynstrelsye,
Onlesse your wyne be in your hande,
And your ladye in your e'e.
Ane singil say will set him on,
And simpil is the spelle;
But he nefer will gif ofer againe,
Not for the deuill himselle.
And simpil is the spelle;
But he nefer will gif ofer againe,
Not for the deuill himselle.
