NOW SPRINGES THE SPRAI by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: BI THIS DAI
@3NOW springes the sprai,
Al for love I am so seek
That slepen I ne mai.@1

As I me rode this endre dai
O mi playing,
Saw I there a little mai
Bigan to singe:
"The clot him clingge!
Wai es him I love-longinge
Sal libben ay!"

Soon I heard that mirie note
Thider I drogh;
I fonde hir in an herber swet
Under a bogh,
With joi enow.
Son I asked: "You mirie mai,
What singst thou ai?"

Then answered that maiden swet
Midde wordes fewe:
"Mi lemman me haves bihot
Of love trewe:
He chaunges anewe.
Yet if I may, it shall him rewe
Bi this dai."
