Een costerken op sijn clocken clanc

Een costerken op syn clocken clanc
Smorgens vroech en weckte de lien.
Een aerdich vrouken, wit en blanc,
Moest met schalcksen ooghen aensien.
Doen sprack dat vrouken: “Macht gheschien!
Spant op u cloxkens en beyt niet lanc!
Laet ons spelen den binc, den banc,
Van tinge, tinge, tanc.
Goeden ontvanc sal u gheschien.
Dus soo en wilt vandaer niet vlien.”
