For whanne I mai upon hire stare,

Hire wommanhede, hire gentilesse,

Myn herte is full of such gladnesse, 180

That overpasseth so mi wit,

That I wot nevere where it sit,

Bot am so drunken of that sihte,

Me thenkth that for the time I mihte

Riht sterte thurgh the hole wall;

And thanne I mai wel, if I schal,

Bothe singe and daunce and lepe aboute,
