MS Harley 2278 fol. 28v[The initial "A" of each stanza is decorated.]
And be side the wellis as I fynde
At his comyng / he bilt a roial tou[n]
Which stant ther yit / for a manier mynde
ffor his arryuaile / into this Regiou[n]
Which is this day / callid Hunstantstou[n]
And betokneth / who so looke a riht
In latyn tonge / swetnesse and gret myht
Alle the feeldis / sowyn rou[n]d aboute
And lond arable / a ful large space
Gan there tencrece / of trouthe this no doute
More than it dide / in any othir place
And al thencres / kam of goddis grace
ffor in such caas / may been noon obstacle
Whan for his seynt / god werkith bi myracle
[In the centre of the page is an illumination
showing many labourers working at construction:
the building of Hunstanton.]
