A P004 Wente wyde in @is world $wondris to here.
A P005 But on a may morwenyng $on maluerne hilles
A P006 Me befel a ferly, $of fairie me @ou#te"
A P007 I was wery [for]wandrit $& wente me to reste
A P008 Vndir a brood bank $be a bourn[e] side,
A P009 And as I lay & lenide $& lokide on @e watris
A P010 I slomeride into a slepyng, $it swi#ede so merye.
