Seite 413 - The song I sang old Languet had me taught, Languet, the shepherd best swift Ister knew, For clerkly rede, and hating what is naught, For faithful heart, clean hands, and mouth as true. With his sweet skill my skill-less youth he drew To have a feeling taste of him that sits Beyond the heav'n, far more beyond our wits.
