Prologue In a somur sesoun whan softe was e sonne Y shope me into shroudes as y a shep were; In abite as an heremite, vnholy of werkes, Wente forth in e world wondres to here, And say many sellies and selkouthe thynges. (C Prol.5) Ac on a May mornyng on Maluerne hulles Me biful for to slepe, for werynesse of-walked; And in a launde as y lay, lened y and slepte, And merueylousliche me mette, as y may telle. Al e welthe of the world and e wo bothe (C Prol.10) Wynkyng, as hit were, witterliche y sigh hit; Of treuthe and tricherye, tresoun and gyle, Al y say slepynge, as y shal telle. Estward y beheld aftir e sonne And say a tour--as y trowed, Treuthe was there-ynne. (C Prol.15) Westward y waytede in a while aftir And seigh a depe dale--Deth, as y leue, Woned in tho wones, and wikkede spiritus. A fair feld ful of folk fond y er bytwene Of alle manere men, e mene and e pore, (C Prol.20) Worchyng and wandryng as is world ascuth. Somme potte he . . .
