Against The Coming Of May

Against the coming of May
That is ful of lustyness,
Let us leve al hevynesse,
As fer as we can or may.

Now is the time of mirth and play;
Winter with his idelness
Is discomfit, as I guess,
And redy to flee away.
Agains the coming &c.

Wherfore, ladies, I you pray
That ye take in you gladness
And do all your business
To be mery night and day.
Agains the coming &c.
