Blac is the colour that is good,
So say I and many mo;
Blac is my hat, blac is my hood
Blac is all that longeth therto.
Summe men sayen that I am blac -
It is a colour for my prow;
Ther I love, ther is no lac,
I may not be so white as thou.
Blac wol do as good a nede
As the white at bord and bedde;
And therto also trew in dede,
And therto I ley my lif to wedde.
Blac is the colour that is good,

Blac is all that longeth therto.

Pepper withoute it is well blac,
