The next piece of evidence is that given in what is known as 'Lydgate's list.' This is contained in a long passage in the prologue to his poem known as the 'Fall of Princes,' translated from the French version (by Laurens de Premierfait) of the Latin book by Boccaccio, entitled 'De Casibus Virorum Illustrium[199].' In this Lydgate commends his 'maister Chaucer,' and mentions many of his works, as, e. g. Troilus and Creseide, the translation of Boethius' _De Consolatione Philosophiae_, the treatise on the Astrolabe addressed to his 'sonne that called was Lowys,' the Legend of Good Women, and the Canterbury Tales. The whole passage is given in Morris's edition of Chaucer, vol. i. pp. 79-81; but I shall only cite so much of it as refers to the Minor Poems, and I take the opportunity of doing so directly, from an undated black-letter edition published by John Wayland. 'He wrote also full many a day agone _Dant in English_, him-selfe doth so expresse, The piteous story of _Ceix and Alcion_: And the death also of _Blaunche the duches_: And notably [he] did his businesse By great auise his wittes to dispose, To translate the _Romaynt of the Rose_. 'Thus in vertue he set all his entent, Idelnes and vyces for to fle: Of _fowles_ also he wrote _the parliament_, Therein remembring of royall Eagles thre, Howe in their choyse they felt aduersitye, To-fore nature profered the battayle, Eche for his partye, if it woulde auayle. 'He did also his diligence and payne In our vulgare to translate and endite _Orygene upon the Maudelayn_: And of _the Lyon a boke_ he did write. _Of Annelida and of false Arcite_ He made _a complaynt_ dolefull and piteous; And of _the broche which that Uulcanus_ '_At Thebes_ wrought, ful diuers of nature. Ouide[200] writeth: who-so thereof had a syght, For high desire, he shoulde not endure But he it had, neuer be glad ne light: And if he had it once in his myght, Like as my master sayth & writeth in dede, It to conserue he shoulde euer liue in dred.'
