In praisen of the grene haet

I would like to have ac-drenc in the win-hus hwider Walter be-sittan

To hiere the catt with the conked head gliwap on his blaed-horn

I could blowe with min baggepipe and go singan and hoppian all about

For I am a janglere and a goliardeys who is moost of synne and harlotries

And should they sende me ut for being a druncen soot, no hearm done

I would cume and breke their dore at a rennyng with min heed!
