First sentence: IN the yere of the incarnacion of oure lord M iijc lxxj, as y was in a gardin, al heui and fulle of thought, in the shadow, about the ende of the monthe of Aprille, but a litelle y reioysed me of the melodie and song of the wilde briddes; thei sang there in her langages, as the thrustille, the thrusshe, the nytinggale, and other briddes, the whiche were fulle of mirthe and ioye; and thaire suete songe made my herte to lighten, and made me to think of the tyme that is passed of my youthe, how loue in gret distresse had holde me, and how y was in her seruice mani tymez fulle of sorugh and gladnesse, as mani lovers ben.
