Lo! here be oakis grete, streight as a line, Under the which the grass, so fresh of line, Be'th newly sprung at eight foot or nine. Everich tree well from his fellow grew, With branches broad laden with leaves new, That sprongen out against the sonne sheene, Some golden red and some a glad bright green. And in another canton was the following similar legend:
