42. The Lover Wishes His Lady Recovery

As in yow resstyth my Ioy and comfort
Youre dissese ys my mortal payne
Sone god send me seche reporte
þat may comfort myn hert in every vayne
ho but ȝe may me sustayne
Ar of my gref be þe remedy
but ye sone amendement of youre maledy
Weche ys to me þe heviest remembraunce
þat euer can be þouth in any creature
Myne hert hanggyng þus in balaunce
Tyl I haue knowlege & verely sure
þat god in yow hath lyst done thys cure
Of yowre dyssese to haue allygaunce
And to be releuyd of all yowre grevaunce
