"On þe hit is wel eþseene of alle wimmen þu havest þe pris.
 Mi sweete levdi, her mi bene & reu of me 3if þi wille is."

  -- from "Edi beo thu, heven quene" (Blessed are you, queen of heaven), anon., 13th Century, English. (a couple of pages discussing the song, and images of a medievql manuscript it's in -- last link requires creating a free account at DIAMM) [I've seen different transcriptions using different spellings, which got me searching for the oldest version I could find. In this manuscript, 'd' looks an awful lot like an eth, every 'w' is written with a wynn, the '3' above is actually a yogh, and some instances of 's' are long-s -- I've not bothered trying to put in long-s for now.]
