London thou art of townes A per se	A
Soveraign of cities seemliest in sight	B
Of high renoun riches and royaltie	B
Of lordis barons and many a goodly knyght	B
Of most delectable lusty ladies bright	B
Of famous prelatis in habitis clericall	C
Of merchauntis full of substaunce and of myght	B
London thou art the flour of Cities all	C
	-
Gladdith anon thou lusty Troynovaunt	B
Citie that some tyme cleped was New Troy	D
In all the erth imperiall as thou stant	B
Pryncesse of townes of pleasure and of joy	D
A richer restith under no Christen roy	D
For manly power with craftis naturall	C
Fourmeth none fairer sith the flode of Noy	E
London thou art the flour of Cities all	C
	-
Gemme of all joy jasper of jocunditie	B
Most myghty carbuncle of vertue and valour	D
Strong Troy in vigour and in strenuytie	B
Of royall cities rose and geraflour	D
Empress of townes exalt in honour	D
In beawtie beryng the crone imperiall	C
Swete paradise precelling in pleasure	D
London thou art the flour of Cities all	C
	-
Above all ryvers thy Ryver hath renowne	E
Whose beryall stremys pleasaunt and preclare	D
Under thy lusty wallys renneth down	E
Where many a swan doth swymme with wyngis fair	D
Where many a barge doth saile and row with are	D
Where many a ship doth rest with top royall	C
O towne of townes patrone and not compare	D
London thou art the flour of Cities all	C
	-
Upon thy lusty Brigge of pylers white	B
Been merchauntis full royall to behold	B
Upon thy stretis goeth many a semely knyght	B
In velvet gownes and in cheynes of gold	B
By Julyus Cesar thy Tour founded of old	B
May be the hous of Mars victoryall	C
Whose artillary with tonge may not be told	B
London thou art the flour of Cities all	C
	-
Strong be thy wallis that about thee standis	A
Wise be the people that within thee dwellis	A
Fresh is thy ryver with his lusty strandis	A
Blith be thy chirches wele sownyng be thy bellis	A
Rich be thy merchauntis in substaunce that excellis	A
Fair be their wives right lovesom white and small	C
Clere be thy virgyns lusty under kellis	A
London thou art the flour of Cities all	C
	-
Thy famous Maire by pryncely governaunce	A
With sword of justice thee ruleth prudently	C
No Lord of Parys Venyce or Floraunce	A
In dignitye or honour goeth to hym nigh	F
He is exampler loode ster and guye	G
Principall patrone and rose orygynalle	C
Above all Maires as maister most worthy	C
London thou art the flour of Cities all	C
