The Faucon (The Falcon)
2 Answers
Lully, lully! lully, Lully!
The faucon hath borne my mate away!
He bare him up, he bare him down,
He bare him into an orchard brown,
In that orchard there was a halle,
That was hanged with purple and pall,
And in that hall there was a bed
It was hanged with gold sa red
And in that bed there li'th a knight,
His woundes bleeding day and night,
At that bed's foot there li'th a hound.
Licking the blood as it runs down,
By that bed-side kneeleth a maid,
And she weepeth both night and day,
And at that bed's head standeth a stone,
Corpus Christi written theron
Lully, lulley! lully, lully!
The faucon hath borne my mate away
