The Rye and Rawnie

The rye he mores adrey the wesh
   The kaun-engro and chiriclo;
You sovs with leste drey the wesh,
   And rigs for leste the gono.

Oprey the rukh adrey the wesh
   Are chiriclo and chiricli;
Tuley the rukh adrey the wesh
   Are pireno and pireni.

THE SQUIRE AND LADY

The squire he roams the good greenwood,
   And shoots the pheasant and the hare;
Thou sleep’st with him in good green wood,
   And dost for him the game-sack bear.

I see, I see upon the tree
   The little male and female dove;
Below the tree I see, I see
   The lover and his lady love.
