This spoken, opened a cloud, and leatt douun a white ffalcon, in the descending of whiche was pronounced, by an other child, as foloweth:—
Vdallus.
Behold and see the ffalcon white,
How she begynneth hir winges to spred,
And for our coumforte to take hir flight!
But where woll she sease, as you doo red?
A rare sight, and yett to bee ioyed,
On the Rose, chief floure that euer was,
This bird to light, that all birdes dothe passe!
How she begynneth hir winges to spred,
And for our coumforte to take hir flight!
But where woll she sease, as you doo red?
A rare sight, and yett to bee ioyed,
On the Rose, chief floure that euer was,
This bird to light, that all birdes dothe passe!
