Adam, of Cobsam

"The Wright's Chaste Wife A Merry Tale (about 1462)"


Sume be lewde, 24
and some be schrewed_e_,
go wher they goo.
Some of the{m~} be treue of love
Benet{h-} ?e gerde{l~l}, but nat above, 28
And in a hode aboue cane chove,
Yit all thei do nat soo.
Some be lewde,
and some be schreud_e_, 32
go where they goo.
Some cane whister, & some cane crie,
Some cane flater, and some can lye,
And some cane sette ?e moke awrie, 36
Yit all thei do nat soo.
Sume be lewde,
and sume be schreued_e_,
go where thei goo. 40
He that made this songe full good,
Came of ?e nort{h-} and of ?e sother{n)} blode,
And some-what kyne to Roby{n)} Hode,
Yit all we be nat soo. 44
Some be lewde,
and some be schrewed_e_,
go where they goo.
Some be lewde, some be [s]chrwde, 48
Go where they goo.
