Original text and translations

Early Modern English text

My lady is a prety on, a prety, prety, prety on My lady is a prety on, as ever I saw.

She is gentyll and also wysse
Of all other she berith the price

that ever I saw.

To here hir syng, to se her dance
she wyll the best herself advance

that ever I saw.

To se her fyngers that be so small,
In my consait she passeth all

that euer I saw.

Nature in her hath wonderly wroght,
Crist never sych a nother bowght

that ever I saw.

I haue sene many that have bowty.
Yet is ther non like to my lady,

that euer I saw.

therefor I dare this boldly say,
I shall have the best and farest may.*

that ever I saw.

My lady is a prety on, etc.</>
