Chaucer, Geoffrey
English poetry -- Middle English, 1100-1500
Thou shalt answere of two, and nat of oon!
Wher is thy gretter part away y-goon?
Allas! wher shal I, wrecched wight, become!
For, thogh so be that ship or boot heer come, 2215
Hoom to my contree dar I nat for drede; (331)
I can my-selven in this cas nat rede!'
What shal I telle more her compleining?
Hit is so long, hit were an hevy thing.
In her epistle Naso telleth al; 2220
But shortly to the ende I telle shal.
The goddes have her holpen, for pitee;
And, in the signe of Taurus, men may see
The stones of her coroun shyne clere.--
I wol no more speke of this matere; 2225
But thus this false lover can begyle (341)
His trewe love. The devil quyte him his whyle!
