For wo was him, that what to doon he niste,

But bad his folk to goon wher that hem liste.

52. And whan that he in chaumbre was allone,

He doun up-on his beddes feet him sette,

360

And first he gan to syke, and eft to grone,

And thoughte ay on hir so, with-outen lette,

That, as he sat and wook, his spirit mette

That he hir saw , and al the wyse

Right of hir loke, and gan it newe avyse.
