2900 In place, where thou maist hir see.

2902 Most delytable and saverous,
2903 fforto aswage a mannes sorwe,
2904 To sene his lady by the morwe.
2905 ffor it is a full noble thing
2906 Whanne thyne eyen have metyng
2907 With that relike precious,
2908 Wherof they be so desirous.
2909 But al day after, soth it is,
2910 They have no drede to faren Amysse,
2911 They dreden neither wynde ne reyne,
2912 Ne noon other maner peyne.
2913 ffor whanne thyne eyen were thus in blisse,
2914 Yit of her curtesie, ywysse,
2915 Alloone they can not have hir ioye,
2916 But to the herte they conveye;
2917 Parte of her blisse to hym thou sende,
2918 Of all this harme to make an ende.
2919 The eye is a good messangere,
2920 Which can to the herte in such manere
2921 Tidyngis sende, that hath sene,
2922 To voide hym of his peynes clene.
