the works of dunstan le heryngmongere

"fulle of gentyl dignitee"

Dunstan's Middle English poems demonstrate a remarkable understanding of medieval style and philosophy while ensuring that the language used is easily understandable by a modern audience. His works are filled with the wit of Chaucer, the humor of the anonymous lyrics, and the accessibility of more contemporary folk songs.

Lyrics

Bi Nyghtes and Bi Daies (a Middle English version of By Night and By Day)

Lokke atte Queen Rachel Wallace wham we serue

With wordes he al-weys hathe a skyllfule way
