Anonymous Lyrics from "Anthology: An Introduction to Literature" by Lynn Alterbernd (I own this book)

UBI SUNT QUI ANTE NOS FUERUNT?

Were beth they diforen us weren,
Houndes ladden and havekes beren
And hadden feld and wode?
The riche levedies in hoere bour,
That wereden gold in hoere tressour,
With hoere brightte rode?

Eten and drounken, and maden hem glad;
Hoere lif was al with gamen ilad;
Men knelened hem biforen;
They beren hem wel swithe heye;
And, in a twincling of an eye
Hoere soules were forloren.

Were is that lawing and tha song,
That trayling and that proud gong,
Tho havekes and tho houndes?
Al that joye is went away,
That wele is comen to "Weylaaway"! -
To manie harde stoundes.

Hoere paradis they nomen here,
And nou they lien in helle ifere;
The fuir hit brennes hevere.
Long is ay, and long is o,
Long is wy, and long is wo;
Thennes ne cometh they nevere
