04a. THAT YONGE CHILD

That yongë [young] child when it gan [began to] weep
With song she lulled him asleep:
That was so sweet a melody
It passèd alle minstrelsy.

The nightingalë sang also:
Her song is hoarse and nought thereto:
Whoso [Whoever] attendeth to her song
And leaveth the first then doth he wrong.
