Nicolete the fair None might win his heart away Though his father�察�many a
day�察�And his mother said him nay�察 �Ha� �fond child�察�what wouldest thou�拭�
Nicolete is glad enow� �Was from Carthage cast away�察�Paynims sold her on
a day� �Wouldst thou win a lady fair Choose a maid of high degree Such an
one is meet for thee。; ;Nay of these I have no care�察�Nicolete is debonaire�察�
Her body sweet and the face of her Take my heart as in a snare�察�Loyal love
is but her share That is so sweet。;
Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
When the Count Garin de Biaucaire knew that he would avail not to
withdraw Aucassin his son from the love of Nicolete�察 �he went to the
Captain of the city�察�who was his man�察�and spake to him�察�saying�此�
;Sir Count�察 �away with Nicolete thy daughter in God�察 �cursed be the
land whence she was brought into this country�察�for by reason of her do I
lose Aucassin�察 �that will neither be dubbed knight�察 �nor do aught of the
things that fall to him to be done。 And wit ye well�察─�he said�察 �that if I
might have her at my will�察�I would burn her in a fire�察�and yourself might

well be sore adread。;
;Sir�察─�said the Captain�察 �this is grievous to me that he comes and goes
and hath speech with her。 I had bought the maiden at mine own charges�察�
and nourished her�察�and baptized�察�and made her my daughter in God。 Yea�察�
I would have given her to a young man that should win her bread
honourably。 With this had Aucassin thy son naught to make or mend。
But�察�sith it is thy will and thy pleasure�察�I will send her into that land and
that country where never will he see her with his eyes。;
;Have a heed to thyself�察─ �said the Count Garin�察 �thence might great
evil come on thee。;
So parted they each from other。 Now the Captain was a right rich
man�此 �so had he a rich palace with a garden in face of it�察 �in an upper
chamber thereof he let place Nicolete�察 �with one old woman to keep her
company�察 �and in that chamber put bread and meat and wine and such
things as were needful。 Then he let seal the door�察�that none might come
in or go forth�察�save that there was one window�察�over against the garden�察�
and strait enough�察�where through came to them a little air。
Here singeth one�此�
Nicolete as ye heard tell Prisoned is within a cell That is painted
wondrously With colours of a far countrie�察 �And the window of marble
wrought�察 �There the maiden stood in thought�察 �With straight brows and
yellow hair Never saw ye fairer fair� �On the wood she gazed below�察�And
she saw the roses blow�察 �Heard the birds sing loud and low�察 �Therefore
spoke she wofully�此 �Ah me�察�wherefore do I lie Here in prison wrongfully�此�
Aucassin�察 �my love�察 �my knight�察 �Am I not thy heart's delight�察 �Thou that
lovest me aright� �'Tis for thee that I must dwell In the vaulted chamber cell�察�
Hard beset and all alone� �By our Lady Mary's Son Here no longer will I
wonn�察�If I may flee� �
Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
Nicolete was in prison�察�as ye have heard soothly�察�in the chamber。 And
the noise and bruit of it went through all the country and all the land�察�how
that Nicolete was lost。 Some said she had fled the country�察�and some that
the Count Garin de Biaucaire had let slay her。 Whosoever had joy
thereof�察�Aucassin had none�察 �so he went to the Captain of the town and

Aucassin and Nicolete
spoke to him�察�saying�此�
;Sir Captain�察�what hast thou made of Nicolete�察�my sweet lady and love�察�
the thing that best I love in all the world�拭 �Hast thou carried her off or
ravished her away from me�拭 �Know well that if I die of it�察�the price shall
be demanded of thee�察�and that will be well done�察�for it shall be even as if
thou hadst slain me with thy two hands�察�for thou hast taken from me the
thing that in this world I loved the best。;
;Fair Sir�察─�said the Captain�察 �let these things be。 Nicolete is a captive
that I did bring from a strange country。 Yea�察 �I bought her at my own
charges of the Saracens�察�and I bred her up and baptized her�察�and made her
my daughter in God。 And I have cherished her�察�and one of these days I
would have given her a young man�察�to win her bread honourably。 With
this hast thou naught to make�察�but do thou take the daughter of a King or a
Count。 Nay more�察 �what wouldst thou deem thee to have gained�察 �hadst
thou made her thy leman�察 �and taken her to thy bed�拭 �Plentiful lack of
comfort hadst thou got thereby�察�for in Hell would thy soul have lain while
the world endures�察�and into Paradise wouldst thou have entered never。;
;In Paradise what have I to win�拭 �Therein I seek not to enter�察�but only
to have Nicolete�察�my sweet lady that I love so well。 For into Paradise go
none but such folk as I shall tell thee now�此 �Thither go these same old
priests�察 �and halt old men and maimed�察 �who all day and night cower
continually before the altars�察�and in the crypts�察�and such folk as wear old
amices and old clouted frocks�察�and naked folk and shoeless�察�and covered
with sores�察�perishing of hunger and thirst�察�and of cold�察�and of little ease。
These be they that go into Paradise�察 �with them have I naught to make。
But into Hell would I fain go�察 �for into Hell fare the goodly clerks�察 �and
goodly knights that fall in tourneys and great wars�察�and stout men at arms�察�
and all men noble。 With these would I liefly go。 And thither pass the
sweet ladies and courteous that have two lovers�察�or three�察�and their lords
also thereto。 Thither goes the gold�察�and the silver�察�and cloth of vair�察�and
cloth of gris�察�and harpers�察�and makers�察�and the prince of this world。 With
these I would gladly go�察�let me but have with me�察�Nicolete�察�my sweetest
lady。;
;Certes�察─�quoth the Captain�察 �in vain wilt thou speak thereof�察�for never
12

Aucassin and Nicolete
shalt thou see her�察�and if thou hadst word with her�察�and thy father knew it�察�
he would let burn in a fire both her and me�察�and thyself might well be sore
adread。;
;That is even what irketh me�察─�quoth Aucassin。 So he went from the
Captain sorrowing。
Here singeth one�此�
Aucassin did so depart Much in dole and heavy at heart For his love
so bright and dear�察 �None might bring him any cheer�察 �None might give
good words to hear�察�To the palace doth he fare Climbeth up the palace´
stair�察�Passeth to a chamber there�察�Thus great sorrow doth he bear�察�For his
lady and love so fair。
;Nicolete how fair art thou�察 �Sweet thy foot´fall�察 �sweet thine eyes�察�
Sweet the mirth of thy replies�察�Sweet thy laughter�察�sweet thy face�察�Sweet
thy lips and sweet thy brow�察�And the touch of thine embrace�察�All for thee I
sorrow now�察 �Captive in an evil place�察 �Whence I ne'er may go my ways
Sister�察�sweet friend� ─�
So say they�察�speak they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
While Aucassin was in the chamber sorrowing for Nicolete his love�察�
even then the Count Bougars de Valence�察�that had his war to wage�察�forgat
it no whit�察�but had called up his horsemen and his footmen�察�so made he for
the castle to storm it。 And the cry of battle arose�察 �and the din�察 �and
knights and men at arms busked them�察�and ran to walls and gates to hold
the keep。 And the towns´folk mounted to the battlements�察�and cast down
bolts and pikes。 Then while the assault was great�察�and even at its height�察�
the Count Garin de Biaucaire came into the chamber where Aucassin was
making lament�察 �sorrowing for Nicolete�察 �his sweet lady that he loved so
well。
;Ha� �son�察─�quoth he�察 �how caitiff art thou�察�and cowardly�察�that canst see
men assail thy goodliest castle and strongest。 Know thou that if thou lose
it�察�thou losest all。 Son�察�go to�察�take arms�察�and mount thy horse�察�and defend
thy land�察�and help thy men�察�and fare into the stour。 Thou needst not smite
nor be smitten。 If they do but see thee among them�察 �better will they
guard their substance�察�and their lives�察�and thy land and mine。 And thou
art so great�察�and hardy of thy hands�察�that well mightst thou do this thing�察�
13

and to do it is thy devoir。;
;Father�察─�said Aucassin�察 �what is this thou sayest now�拭 �God grant me
never aught of my desire�察�if I be dubbed knight�察�or mount steed�察�or go into
the stour where knights do smite and are smitten�察 �if thou givest me not
Nicolete�察�my sweet lady�察�whom I love so well。;
; Son�察─�quoth his father�察 �this may never be�此 �rather would I be quite
disinherited and lose all that is
