ENGLISH AND NORMAN SONGS OF THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY.
In a vellum book, known as The Red Book of Ossory, and preserved in the archives of that see, is contained a collection of Latin religious poetry, written in a good bold hand of the 14th century; prefixed to several of the hymns, in a contemporary and identical hand, are sometimes one sometimes more lines of a song in old English or Norman French, which as they occur I here give:
"Alas hou shold y syng, yloren is my playnge
Hou sholdy wiz zat olde man}
} swettist of al zinge."
To leven and let my leman }
"Harrow ieo su thy: p fol amor de mal amy."
"Have mrcie on me frere: Barfote zat ygo."
"Do Do. nightyngale syng ful myrie
Shal y nevre for zyn love lengre karie."
"Have God day me lemon," &c.
"Gaveth me no garlond of greene,
Bot hit ben of Wythones yuroght."
"Do Do nyztyngale syng wel miry
Shal y nevre for zyn love lengre kary."
"Hew alas p amor
Oy moy myst en tant dolour."
