Allemyghty god maker of alle	A
Saue you my souereyns in towre halle	A
And send you good grace	B
If ye wylle a stounde blynne	C
Of a story I wylle begynne	C
And telle you alle the cas	D
Meny farleyes aue herde	E
Ye would haue wondyr how yt ferde	E
Lystyn and ye schalle here	F
Of a wryght I wylle you telle	A
That some tyme in thys land gan dwelle	A
And lyued by hys myster	F
Whether that he were yn or oute	E
Of erthely man hadde he no dowte	E
To werke hows harowe nor plowgh	G

Thous wrought he hem farre and nere	F
And dyd tham wele I nough	G
Thys wryght would wedde no wyfe	G
Butt yn yougeth to lede hys lyfe	G
In myrthe and o ody	E
Ouer alle where he gan wende	E
Alle they seyd 'welcome frende	E
Sytt downe and do gla d ly '	H
Tylle on a tyme he was wyllyng	I
As tyme comyth of alle thyng	I
So seyth the profesye	J
A wyfe for to wedde haue	K
That myght hys goodes kepe saue	D
And for to leue alle foly	A
Ther dwellyd a wydowe in tre	F
That hadde a doughter feyre fre	F
Of her word sprang wyde	E
For sche was bothe stabylle trewe	L
Meke of maners and feyre of hewe	L
So seyd men in that tyde	E
The wryght seyde 'so god me saue	D
Such a wyfe would I haue	K
To lye nyghtly by my syde '	H
He to speke wyth	M
And rose erly on a daye	F
And an he to ryde	E
The wryght was welcome to	E
And her saluyd alle so blyve	G
And so he dyd her doughter fre	F
For the erand that he for came	N
Tho he spake d yemane	C
Than to hym seyd sche	O
The wydow seyd 'by heuen kyng	I
