My lady is a prety on, a prety, prety, prety on
My lady is a prety on, as ever I saw.
She is gentyll and also wysse
Of all other she berith the price
that ever I saw.
To here hir syng, to se her dance
she wyll the best herself advance
that ever I saw.
To se her fyngers that be so small,
In my consait she passeth all
that euer I saw.
Nature in her hath wonderly wroght,
Crist never sych a nother bowght
that ever I saw.
I haue sene many that have bowty.
Yet is ther non like to my lady,
that euer I saw.
therefor I dare this boldly say,
I shall have the best and farest may.*
that ever I saw.
My lady is a prety on, etc.
- "may" = “mate"
