Foweles in the frith

Drmies:


'''Foweles in the frith''' is a short, five-line [[Middle English language|Middle English]] poem. It is found in a manuscript from the thirteenth century containing mostly legal writings, and is accompanied by a musical score for two voices.<ref name=moser>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1)</ref>

The poem is one of a relatively small number of lyric poems from that century, and the only one with music. It is not entirely clear whether the poem is complete, or just the refrain of a longer poem: there are no other poems in the manuscript that provide any context.

==Text==
<poem>Foweles in the frith,
The fisses in the flod,
And I mon waxe wod.
Sulch sorw I walke with
For beste of bon and blod.</poem>
