1339 Now god that sittith in mageste
1340 ffro deedly woundes he kepe me,
1341 If so be that he hadde me shette;
1342 ffor if I with his arowe mette,
1343 It hadde me greved sore iwys
1344 But I, that no thyng wist of this,
1345 Wente up and doun full many Awey,
1346 And he me folwed fast Alwey;
1347 But no where wold I reste me,
1348 Till I hadde in all the gardyn be.
1349 The gardyn was, by mesuryng,
1350 Right evene and square in compassing;
1351 It as long was as it was large.
1352 Of fruyt hadde every tree his charge,
1353 But it were any hidous tree
1354 Of which ther were two or three.
1355 There were, and that wote I full well,
1356 Of pome garnettys a full gret dell;
1357 That is a fruyt full well to lyke,
1358 Namely to folk whanne they ben sike.
1359 And trees there were, of gret foisoun,
1360 That baren notes in her sesoun,
1361 Such as men notemygges calle,
1362 That swote of savour ben with All.
