Popis: Adequate attention has never been paid to the fifteenth-century lying-song which advises us to trust women when nettles bear roses and other wild impossibilities come to pass. There are three manuscript versions: A. Bodl. 29734 (Eng. poet. e. 1—second half XV cent.), f. 43b;B. Balliol Oxf. 354 (Hill's Commonplace Book—first half XVI cent.), f. 250b;C. BM Printed Book IB 55242 (MS. notes in Trevisa's Bartholomeus Anglicus, de Worde, 1495), ff. 477b–478b.
