¶ Vyolet, an erbe cowth,
Is knowyn in ilke mannys mowthe;
As bokys seyn in here langage,  [ 910]   [P. 77]   [ 1370] 
It is good to don in potage,
In playstrys to woundys it is confortyf
With oþer erbys sanatyf.
Oyle of hys flour is profytable
And with oyle of rose medicinable;  [ 915]   [ 1375] 
þe oyle of hys fayre flowres
In man distroith wycke humoris,
And all on-kende hete, in fay,
Clene distroith and doth away,
Wherfore it is meche of pris  [ 920]   [ 1380] 
And meche in boke commendid is.
