861 Bent were hir browis two,
862 Hir yen greye, and glad Also,
863 That laugheden ay in hir semblaunt,
864 ffirst or the mouth, by covenaunt.
865 I wot not what of hir nose I shal descryve;
866 So faire hath no womman Alyve. . . .
867 Hir heer was yelowe, and clere shynyng,
868 I wot no lady so likyng.
869 Of orfrays fresh was hir gerland;
870 I, which seyen have a thousand,
871 Saugh never, ywys, no gerlond yitt,
872 So wel wrought of silk as it.
873 And in an overgilt samet
874 Cladde she was, by grete delit,
875 Of which hir leef a robe werede,
876 The myrier she in hir herte ferede.
877 And next hir wente, [on] hir other side,
878 The god of love, that can devyde
879 Love, and as hym likith it be.
880 But he can cherles daunten, he,
881 And maken folkis pride fallen.
882 And he can wel these lordis thrallen,
883 And ladyes putt at lowe degre,
884 Whan he may hem to p[r]oude see.
