- I syng of a mayden
- That is makeles;
- Kyng of alle Kynges
- To her Son she ches.
- He cam al so stylle
- There his moder was
- As dew in Aprylle
- That fallyt on the gras;
- He cam al so stylle
- To his moderes bowr
- As dew in Aprylle
- That fallyt on the flour;
- He cam al so stylle
- There his moder lay
- As dew in Aprylle
- That fallyt on the spray;
- Moder and mayden
- Was never non but she;
- Wel may swych a lady
- Godes moder be.
