Transcriber's note:

This e-text uses a number of characters that depend on utf-8 encoding,particularly small and capital yogh (ȝ, Ȝ), small and capital thorn (þ, Þ), double l with a tilde through (l̴l̴),u with a macron (ū), h with a line through the top (ħ), r with a upwards hook attached to the horizontalstem (r̛) and ae ligature with an acute accent (ǽ). If they do not display properly,you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. As a firstresort, try changing your browser's default font.

This e-text also uses some characters that are not in unicode. I have rendered them following:
{m~} for a m with a loop back over the character, which looks likem with a loop back over the character
{n)} for a n with a ) attached to the right side, which looks liken with a ) attached to the right side
{d+} for the d with a little crook attached to the top right of the d, which looks liked with a little crook attached to the top right of the d
There is also one instance of (on line 391 of the poem) a m with a ) attached to the right side (rendered as{m)} and looks likem with a ) attached to the right side),but this is probably a typo for {m~}. I have left this as is.

Text and letters in brackets [ ] is original.

Obvious typos are corrected in this e-text and are shown withpopups underlined in red.
