55a Instrument of love, look, carried by avid Romeo at work (5,6).
It is an anagram, but the letters for the anagram don't work.

Yes, it needs to be "LA", doesn't it? That would work better, as it is in there in the correct order, but I can't see how it means "look".

Would have been okay if it had been 'voila'!

La means the same as Lo - look, behold. It's in Chambers.
