 Thankid be god with bothe myn yen two  
 And be my trowthe me thoughte he did so  
 Ye may deme as ye list gode sere quod she  
 This thank haue I for I made yow se  
Allas quod she that euyr I was so kynde  
 Now dame quod he lat al passe out of mynde  
 Com doun my leef and yf I haue myssayde  
 God helpe me so as y am euyl apayd  
 But be my fader soule I wente haue seyn  
How that this Damyan hadde by the leyn  
 And that thy smok he leyde vp on thy brest  
 Ye sire quod she ye may wene as ye list  
 But sire qd she aman that wakith of his sleep  
 He may not so sodenly wel take keep  
Vp on a thing ne se it so parfitly  
 Til that he be wel adawed verily  
 Right so aman thet longe blynd hath be  
 Ne may not sodenly so sone wel se  
 First when his sighte is new comyn agayn  
As he that hath a day or tweyne y seyn  
 Til that your sighte y satelid be a whyle  
 Ther may ful many a sighte yow begile  
 Bewar I pray yow for be heuyn kyng  
 Ful meny a man wenyth to se a thing  
And yet it is al another than it semyth  
 He that mysconceyueth ofte mys demyth  
 And with that word she lepte fro the tre  
 This Ianuary who is glad but he  
 He kisseth her and clippith hir ful ofte
