As ever I saw

She is gentle and also wise;

Of all other she beareth the prize,

That ever I saw.

To hear her sing, to see her dance!

She will the best herself advance,

That ever I saw.

To see her fingers that be so small!

In my conceit she passeth all

That ever I saw.

Nature in her hath wonderly wrought,

Christ never such another bought,

That ever I saw.

I have seen many that have beauty,

Yet is there none like to my lady

That ever I saw.

Therefore I dare this boldly say,

I shall have the best and fairest may

That ever I saw.
