PROLOGUE
A P001 In a somer sesoun $whanne softe was the sonne
A P002 I shop me into a shroud $as I a shep were;

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.
A P011 @anne gan I mete $a merueillous sweuene,
A P012 @at I was in a wildernesse, $wiste I neuere where;
A P013 Ac as I beheld into @e Est $an hei# to @e sonne
A P014 I sai# a tour on a toft $tri#ely Imakid;

A P017 A fair feld ful of folk $fand I @ere betwene
A P018 Of alle maner of men, $@e mene & @e riche, . . .
