Þa þe Arður wes king hærne nu seollic þing.
he wes mete-custi ælche quike monne.
cniht mid þan bezste wunder ane kene.
he wes þan yungen for fader þan alden for frouer.
and wið þan vnwise wunder ane sturnne.

Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant King,
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo, jug, jug, pu wee, to witta woo!
