He might be deed and graven under stoon

Or ever he shulde his hertes ese restore.

In her fayled nothing, as I coud gesse,

O wyse nor other, prevy nor apert;

A garnison she was of al goodnesse

To make a frounter for a lovers hert;

Right yong and fresshe, a woman ful covert;

Assured wel her port and eke her chere,

Wel at her ese, withouten wo or smert,
