Lyric from MS. London BL Sloane 2593
I have a gentil cok,
crowëth me the day;
He doth me risen erly, my matins for to say.
I have a gentil cok, comen he is of gret; His comb is of red corel, his tayil is of jet.
I have a gentil cok, comen he is of kinde; His comb is red corel, his tayil is of inde.
His leggës ben of asur, so gentil and so smale; His spurës arn of sylver white into the wortëwale.
His eyen arn of cristal, loken al in aumber; And every night he perchëth him in myn ladies chaumber.
