Anonymous Lyrics Of The Fifteenth Century
I Have a Gentle Cock
I Have a Gentle Cocknoble
Croweth me day;
He doth me risen7 early
My matins for to say.morning prayers
I Have a Gentle Cock
Comen he is of great;lofty lineage
His comb is of red coral,
His tail is of jet.black
I Have a Gentle Cock
Comen he is of kind;good stock
His comb is of red coral,
His tail is of inde.indigo
His legges be of azure,
So gentle and so small;slender
His spurres are of silver whiteback claws
Into the wortewale.
His even are of crystal,eyes
Locked all in amber;set
And every night he percheth him
In my lady's chamber.
