The Canterbury Tales; The Chanouns Yemannes Tale
The prologe of the Chanouns yemannes tale.
Whan ended was the lyf of seinte Cecile,
Er we hadde riden fully fyve mile,
At Boghtoun under Blee us gan atake
A man, that clothed was in clothes blake,
And undernethe he wered a whyt surplys.
His hakeney, which that was al pomely grys,
So swatte, that it wonder was to see,
It wemed as he had priked miles thre.
The hors eek that his yeman rood upon
So swatte, that unnethe myghte it gon.
Aboute the peytrel stood the foom ful hye,
He was of fome al flekked as a pye.
A male tweyfoold upon his croper lay,
It semed that he caried lite array.
Al light for somer rood this worthy man,

Confessio Amantis, Book III
Appolinus his lev{.e} tok,

Robin Hood And Guy Of Gisborne
When shawes been sheene, and shradds full fayre,
And leeves both large and longe,
Itt is merry, walking in the fayre forrest,
To heare the small birds songe.
The woodweele sang, and wold not cease,
Amongst the leaves a lyne:
And it is by two wight yeomen,
By deare God, that I meane.
'Me thought they did mee beate and binde,
And tooke my bow mee froe;
If I bee Robin a-live in this lande,
I'le be wrocken on both them towe.'
Sweavens are swift, master,' quoth John,
'As the wind that blowes ore a hill;
For if itt be never soe lowde this night,
To-morrow it may be still.'

A Ioyfull medytacyon to all Englonde of the coronacyon of our moost naturall souerayne lorde kynge Henry the eyght.
The prologue
The prudent problems/& the noble werkes
Of the gentyll poetes in olde antyquyte
Unto this day hath made famous clerkes
For the poetes wrote nothynge in vanyte
But grounded them on good moralyte
Encensynge out the fayre dulcet fume
Our langage rude to exyle and consume
The ryght eloquent poete and monke of bery
Made many fayre bookes/as it is probable
From ydle derkenes/to lyght our emyspery
Whose vertuous pastyme/was moche cōmendable
Presentynge his bookes/gretely prouffytable
To your worthy predecessour the .v. kynge Henry
Whiche regystred is in the courte of memory
Amyddes the medowe of flora the quene
Of the goddes elycon/is the sprynge or well
And by it groweth/a fayre laurell grene
Of whiche the poetes do ofte wryte and tell

The Tick Tock Man
Look at your face
Its so fortunately arranged
Dont look back
I can assure you that you wont like what you see
You step on my dreams
I could whisper
You intrude on me
I could whisper
You close in and Im so uneasy
Hotel rooms, sweet dreams
Like slot machines that call it love love
A coin in the hole
You young things never stay young for longe
This edge in my voice
But theres really nothing much to say
My conscience mends
I suppose it all meant something to you.
You step on my dreams
I could whisper
You intrude on me

Island Of Wonder
The man wrinkles his face
But it's already worn
The coffee is sour
And the shirt is torn
But the smile is bigger than the Atlantic sea
And it happens to bring out the Atlantis in me
Island of wonder
Where do you come from
Is it the way the sun hits my face
Or is it your memory which I cannot trace
Eu vejo mais ao longe
Pessoas sem fome
Com ps sangrando
Na vereda florida
And the church bell dongs
A remarkable song
And I swallow the salt
As I hum along
The woman she laughs as I pass her by
In a patchwork (dream) I left behind

Moonlight Lounge
Flattop guitar
Down around the campfire
You can smell that hickory burnin
Catfish fryin
Onions got us cryin
Hushpuppies theyre a turnin
Friends and kin comin down the hill
Trippin in the ole starlight
Cookin and kickin do a little pickin
Party tonight
Chorus:
Come on down to the moonlight longe
Where the ceilin is so blue
Where there aint no door and our dance floor
Is covered with mountain dew
Where there aint no walls and the waterfall
Is the only sound around
Yeah were havin us a party down in the holler
We call it the moonlight lounge
Me and my lady

Um Pouco De Amor (Portugus)
(rasta rootsme again so come listen to one
me and this is my plain, no this is a message
from the alluland)
Hoje um dia daqueles
Em que olho para o cu
Na esperana de entender porque estou
De vez em quando longe e de vez em quando perto
umas vezes subir e outras cair vou
e quando voc chega no respondo por meus actos
sinto um tremor
te odiando e te querendo do princpio ao fim
buscando um pouco de amor
(rockit out and rockit in
from Dublin to Babylon)
Buscando um pouco de amor
(jumpit out and jumpit in
from Kingston to Providence Land)
Buscando um pouco de amor
Tem horas nessa vida em que no h mais sada
E se v que a cortina fechou

The Canterbury Tales; The Prioresses Tale
The prologe of the Prioresses tale.
Domine dominus noster.
O lord oure lord, thy name how merveillous
Is in this large world ysprad-quod she-
For noght oonly thy laude precious
Parfourned is by men of dignitee,
But by the mouth of children thy bountee
Parfourned is, for on the brest soukynge
Somtyme shewen they thyn heriynge.
Wherfore in laude, as I best kan or may,
Of thee, and of the whyte lylye flour
Which that the bar, and is a mayde alway,
To telle a storie I wol do my labour;
Nat that I may encreessen hir honour,
For she hirself is honour, and the roote
Of bountee, next hir sone, and soules boote.
