WINTERPuir laboureris and busy husbandmen,Went wet and weary in the fen;The silly sheep and their little herd-groomisLurkis under lea of bankis, wodes, and broomis,And other dantit greater bestial,Within their stabillis sesyt into stall,Sic as mulis, horsis, oxen and kye,Fed tuskit boaris, and fat swine in sty,Sustainit were by manis governanceOn harvest and simmeris purveyance.
