[De turturibus. Capitulum xxv.]

Vnder thi coluerhous, in al the brede
Make mewis tweyn, on lytel & obscure.  [ 555] 
With whete & milk in this thi turturs fede  [556 Ms. milk, B mylde.] 
In somer faat ynough with lytel cure.
But boile hit in swetnesse and oon mesure,
A strik, is for six score on dayes mete;
But water oft yfresshed thou hem gete.  [ 560]
