Svmer is icumen in
(MS. Harley 978, early 13th century)

Svmer is icumen in,
Lhude sing, cuccu!
Groweþ sed and bloweþ med
and springeþ þe wude nu.
Sing cuccu!
Awe bleteþ after lomb,
lhouþ after calue cu,
Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ,
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu,
Wel singes þu cuccu.
ne swilk þu nauer nu!

Sing cuccu nu, sing cuccu!
Sing cuccu, Sing cuccu nu!)

Go Heart, Hurt with Adversity
(MS. Ashmole 191, 15th century)

Go hert, hurt with adversite,
And let my lady thy woundes see,
And say her this, as I say thee:
"Fare wel my joy and welcome pain
Til I see my lady again!"

(Accompanied by music for three voices)
