Golagrus and Gawain with John Lydgate: Rhyme without Accord (Page 45 of 46)
(p.51) It may wele ryme bot it accordis nought
Frely to spende and full of covatise
To seke burgeouns out of ane alde dry stok
A gay temple without dyvine seruice.
A birdles cage / a key with outyn lok
A toun scip ay ryding in a rok
A myghty bischop in a cointre of nought
A wantoune hird & a wele reulit flok
It may wele ryme bot it accordis nought
Heir endis the Knichtly tale of golagros / and gawa
ne in the south gait of Edinburgh be Walter chepman
and Androw Millar the viii day of aperile the yhere of
god .MCCCCC. and viii. yheris
