D. (Digby 181) contains, besides two of the Minor Poems, an imperfect copy of Troilus; also the _Letter of Cupid_ and _Complaint of the Black Knight_. At fol. 52 is a piece entitled 'Here Bochas rep_re_uyth hem that yeue hasti credence to eu_er_y reporte or tale'; and it begins--'All-though so be in eu_er_y maner age'; in nineteen 7-line stanzas. This is doubtless a part of chapter 13 of Book I. of Lydgate's _Fall of Princes_. R. (Rawlinson, Poet. 163) contains a copy of Chaucer's _Troilus_, followed by the _Balade to Rosemounde_. Both pieces are marked 'Tregentyll' or 'Tregentil' to the left hand, and 'Chaucer' to the right. § 16. CAMBRIDGE MSS. FF. (Ff. 1. 6) contains, besides five of the Minor Poems, many other pieces. One is a copy of _Pyramus and Thisbe_, being part of the Legend of Good Women. There are four extracts from various parts of Gower's _Confessio Amantis_; the _Cuckoo and Nightingale_ and _Letter of Cupid_; the Romance of _Sir Degrevaunt_; _La Belle Dame sans Merci_. Some pieces from this MS. are printed in Reliquiae Antiquae, i. 23, 169, 202; and two more, called _The Parliament of Love_ and _The Seven Deadly Sins_, are printed in Political, Religious, and Love Poems, ed. Furnivall (E. E. T. S.), pp. 48, 215. We also find here a copy of Lydgate's _Ballad of Good Counsail_, printed in the old editions of Chaucer (piece no. 40; see above, p. 33). GG. (Gg. 4. 27) is the MS. which contains so excellent a copy of the Canterbury Tales, printed as the 'Cambridge MS.' in the Chaucer Society's publications. Four leaves are lost at the beginning. On leaf 5 is Chaucer's _A. B. C._; on leaf 7, back, the _Envoy to Scogan_; and on leaf 8, back, Chaucer's _Truth_, entitled _Balade de bone conseyl_. This is followed by a rather pretty poem, in 15 8-line stanzas, which is interesting as quoting from Chaucer's _Parliament of Foules_. Examples are: '_Qui bien ayme tard oublye_' (l. 32; cf. P. F. 679): 'The fesaunt, scornere of the cok Be nihter-tyme in frostis colde' (ll. 49, 50; cf. P. F. 357); 'Than spak the frosty feldefare' (l. 89; cf. P. F. 364). Line 41 runs--'Robert redbrest and the wrenne'; which throws some light on the etymology of _robin_. This valuable MS. also contains _Troilus_ and the _Legend of Good Women_, with the unique earlier form of the Prologue; _The Parlement of Foules_; and Lydgate's _Temple of Glas_. At fol. 467 is a _Supplicacio amantis_, a long piece of no great value, but the first four lines give pretty clear evidence that the author was well acquainted with Chaucer's Anelida, and aspired to imitate it. 'Redresse of sorweful, O Cytherea, That w_i_t_h_ the stremys of thy plesau_n_t hete Gladist the cuntreis of al Cirrea, Wher thou hast chosyn thy paleys and thy sete.' It seems to be a continuation of the _Temple of Glas_, and is probably Lydgate's own. HH. (Camb. Univ. Lib. Hh. 4. 12) contains much of Lydgate, and is fully described in the Catalogue.
