walk_v long_o anon_o i_o begin_v espy_v sweet_a pretty_a soul_n that_o pluck_v each_o one_o a_o flower_n when_o from_o their_o sight_n i_o hide_v i_o by_o and_o by_o behind_o a_o bank_n within_o a_o brier_n bower_n where_o after_o walk_v i_o see_v they_o where_o they_o sit_v behold_v their_o hue_n and_o hear_v their_o pretty_a chat_n sister_n quoth_v one_o how_o shall_v we_o spend_v this_o day_n devise_n quoth_v she_o some_o pretty_a merry_a jest_n content_a quoth_v one_o beshrew_v they_o that_o say_v nay_o some_o purpose_n or_o riddle_n i_o think_v best_a riddle_n cry_v all_o and_o so_o the_o sport_n begin_v forfeit_v a_o fillip_n she_o that_o first_o have_v do_v loe_o thus_o a_o while_n be_v curtsy_n to_o propound_v yet_o in_o the_o end_n this_o order_n do_v they_o take_v by_o two_o and_o two_o they_o shall_v sit_v close_a and_o round_o and_o one_o begin_v another_o answer_n make_v who_o riddle_a sport_n in_o order_n as_o i_o can_v i_o will_v recite_v and_o thus_o the_o first_o begin_v the_o first_o riddle_n within_o a_o gallant_a plot_n of_o ground_n there_o grow_v a_o flower_n that_o have_v no_o name_n the_o like_a whereof_o be_v never_o find_v and_o none_o but_o one_o can_v pluck_v the_o same_o now_o where_o this_o ground_n or_o flower_n do_v grow_v or_o who_o that_o one_o be_v hard_a to_o know_v the_o answer_n sister_n quoth_v she_o if_o thou_o will_v know_v this_o ground_n this_o flower_n and_o happy_a man_n walk_v in_o this_o garden_n to_o and_o fro_o here_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o now_o and_o than_o which_o when_o you_o find_v to_o your_o delight_n then_o think_v i_o hit_v your_o riddle_n right_o the_o second_o riddle_n within_o a_o field_n there_o grow_v a_o flower_n that_o deck_v the_o ground_n where_o as_o it_o grow_v it_o spring_v and_o fall_v both_o in_o a_o hour_n and_o but_o at_o certain_a time_n it_o show_v it_o never_o die_v and_o seldom_o see_v and_o be_v a_o nosegay_n for_o a_o queen_n the_o answer_n this_o field_n be_v favour_n grace_v the_o ground_n whence_o spring_v the_o flower_n of_o courtesy_n soon_o grow_v and_o go_v though_o sometime_o find_v not_o dead_a but_o hide_v from_o flatterer_n eye_n that_o pick_v thanks_o may_v not_o pluck_v the_o same_o thus_o have_v i_o red_a your_o riddle_n dame_n the_o three_o riddle_n within_o a_o flower_n a_o seed_n there_o grow_v which_o sometime_o fall_v but_o seldom_o spring_n and_o if_o it_o spring_v it_o seldom_o blow_n and_o if_o it_o blow_n no_o sweet_a it_o bring_v and_o therefore_o count_v but_o a_o weed_n now_o guess_v the_o flower_n and_o what_o the_o seed_n the_o answer_n in_o fancy_n flower_n be_v sorrow_n seed_n which_o sometime_o fall_v but_o spring_v but_o ceil_v and_o if_o it_o spring_v be_v but_o a_o weed_n which_o do_v no_o sweet_a nor_o savour_v yield_v and_o yet_o the_o flower_n both_o fair_a and_o sweet_a and_o for_o a_o prince_n garden_n meet_v the_o four_o riddle_n within_o a_o seed_n do_v poison_n lurk_v which_o only_a spider_n feed_v upon_o and_o yet_o the_o bee_n can_v wise_o work_v to_o suck_v out_o honey_n poison_n go_v which_o honey_n poison_n spider_n bee_n be_v hard_a to_o guess_v yet_o eath_n to_o see_v the_o answer_n in_o sorrow_n seed_n be_v secret_a pain_n which_o spite_n the_o spider_n only_o suck_v which_o poison_n go_v then_o witty_a brain_n the_o wily_a bee_n her_o honey_n pluck_v and_o bear_v it_o to_o her_o hive_n unhurt_a when_o spider_n tread_v die_v in_o the_o dirt_n gramercy_o wench_n quoth_v she_o that_o first_o begin_o each_o one_o i_o seem_v have_v quit_v herself_o right_a well_o and_o now_o since_o that_o our_o riddle_n all_o be_v do_v let_v we_o go_v sing_v the_o flower_n of_o sweet_a smell_n well_o may_v it_o fare_v wherewith_o each_o take_v a_o part_n and_o thus_o they_o song_n all_o with_o a_o merry_a hart_n bless_a be_v the_o ground_n that_o first_o bring_v forth_o the_o flower_n who_o name_n untolde_a but_o virtue_n not_o unknown_a happy_a the_o hand_n who_o god_n shall_v give_v the_o power_n to_o pluck_v this_o flower_n and_o take_v it_o for_o his_o own_o oh_o heavenly_a stalk_n that_o stain_v all_o where_o it_o grow_v from_o who_o more_o sweet_a than_o sweet_a
