I Am Not The Rose,

Take A Cat, Nourish It Well With Milk And Tender Meat, Make It A Couch Of Silk.

And For To See, And Eek For To Be Seie.

I Wol Yow Telle, As Was Me Taught Also, The Foure Spirites And The Bodies Sevene, By Ordre, As Ofte I Herde My Lord Hem Nevene. The Firste Spirit Quiksilver Called Is, The Second Orpiment, The Thridde, Ywis, Sal Armoniak, And The Firthe Brimstoon. The Bodies Sevene Eek, Lo! Hem Heer Anoon: Sol Gold Is, And Luna Silver We Threpe, Mars Yron, Mercurie Quiksilver We Clepe, Saturnus Leed, And Jupiter Is Tin, And Venus Coper, By My Fader Kin!

Trouthe Is The Hyest Thyng That Man May Kepe.

So Was Hir Jolly Whistel Wel Y-wette.
