Lines from “The Children’s Paradise”, an anonymous poem, composed in 1460.

Com with me to a Happie-Towne

Where lyfe is bryte and gaye

And little children playe all daye

And never knowe a frowne.

Oh com with me and joyne them

In theyre gladde joyous thronge,

Oh com oute here

To Horseye Mere

And synge the children’s songe!
