In a summer season when soft was the sun,

Habit like a hermit’s unholy in works,
And went wide in the world wonders to hear.

A marvel befell me of fairy, methought.
I was weary with wandering and went me to rest
Under a broad bank by a brook’s side,
And as I lay and leaned over and looked into the waters
10 I fell into a sleep for it sounded so merry.
