This Januarie, who is glad but he? |
| He kisseth hire, and clippeth hire ful ofte, |
| And on hire wombe he stroketh hire ful softe, |
| And to his palays hoom he hath hire lad. |
| Now, goode men, I pray yow to be glad. |
1205 | Thus endeth heere my tale of Januarie; |
| God blesse us, and his mooder Seinte Marie! |

1200 | This January, who is glad but he? |
| He kisses her and he embraces her much and oft, |
| And caresses her belly and rubs her soft, |
| And home to palace led her, let me add. |
| And now, good men, I pray you to be glad. |
1205 | For here I end my tale of January; |
| God bless us, and his mother, holy Mary! |
