I go gay and ~yt ~ofte

And than I am mery ofte

As any byrde on brere

Whan laus tibi cometh to towne

Than me behoueth to knele downe

And euer to be in ori~owne

As it were a frere

Soone at Ca~ter cometh alleluya

With butter che~e and a tan~ay

It is nothynge to my pay

That he taryeth away ~o longe

Myght I byde ~here thur~day

Laus tibi ~hall go away

(damage) d I haue wepte that I may

Though he neuer come vs amonge

Finis
