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 mine�察�than that thou shouldst have her to 

thy wife�察�or to love par amours。; 

     So he turned him about。          But when Aucassin saw him going he called 

to him again�察�saying�察�

     ;Father�察�go to now�察�I will make with thee fair covenant。; 

     ;What covenant�察�fair son�拭─�

     ;I will take up arms�察�and   go into the  stour�察�on this   covenant�察�that�察 �if 

God bring me back sound and safe�察�thou wilt let me see Nicolete my sweet 

lady�察  �even   so   long   that   I   may   have   of   her   two   words   or   three�察  �and   one 

kiss。; 

     ;That will I grant�察─�said his father。 

     At this was Aucassin glad。 

       Here one singeth�此�

       Of the kiss heard Aucassin That returning he shall win。 None so glad 

would he   have   been   Of   a   myriad   marks   of   gold   Of   a   hundred   thousand 

told。 Called for raiment brave of steel�察�Then they clad him�察�head to heel�察�

Twyfold hauberk doth he don�察�Firmly braced the helmet on。 Girt the sword 

with   hilt   of   gold�察  �Horse   doth   mount�察  �and   lance   doth   wield�察  �Looks   to 

stirrups and to shield�察�Wondrous brave he rode to field。 Dreaming of his 

lady    dear   Setteth    spurs   to  the   destrere�察  �Rideth    forward     without    fear�察�

Through the gate and forth away To the fray。 

       So speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�

       Aucassin was armed and mounted as ye have heard tell。                     God� �how 

goodly sat the shield on his shoulder�察�the helm on his head�察�and the baldric 

on   his   left   haunch�   �And   the   damoiseau   was   tall�察  �fair�察  �featly  fashioned�察�

and hardy of his hands�察�and the horse whereon he rode swift and keen�察�and 

straight had he spurred him forth of the gate。             Now believe ye not that his 

mind was on kine�察�nor cattle of the booty�察�nor thought he how he might

strike    a  knight�察  �nor   be  stricken    again�此  �nor    no   such   thing。   Nay�察    �no 

memory had Aucassin of aught of these�察�rather he so dreamed of Nicolete�察�

his sweet lady�察�that he dropped his reins�察�forgetting all there was to do�察�and 

his horse that had felt the spur�察�bore him into the press and hurled among 

the foe�察�and they laid hands on him all about�察�and took him captive�察�and 

seized   away   his   spear   and   shield�察  �and   straightway   they   led   him   off   a 

prisoner�察�and were even now discoursing of what death he should die。 

     And when Aucassin heard them�察�

     ;Ha� �God�察─�said he�察 �sweet Saviour。            Be these my deadly enemies that 

have taken me�察�and will soon cut off my head�拭               �And once my head is off�察�

no more shall I speak with Nicolete�察�my sweet lady�察�that I love so well。 

Natheless have I here a good sword�察�and sit a good horse unwearied。                        If 

now I keep not my head for her sake�察�God help her never�察�if she love me 

more� ─�

     The damoiseau was tall and strong�察�and the horse whereon he sat was 

right eager。      And he laid hand to sword�察�and fell a´smiting to right and 

left�察  �and   smote    through   helm   and   nasal�察   �and   arm   and   clenched     hand�察�

making a murder about him�察�like a wild boar when hounds fall on him in 

the   forest�察  �even   till   he   struck   down   ten   knights�察  �and   seven   be   hurt�察  �and 

straightway he hurled out of the press�察�and rode back again at full speed�察�

sword   in   hand。      The   Count   Bougars   de   Valence   heard   say   they   were 

about     hanging    Aucassin�察    �his  enemy�察    �so  he   came    into  that  place�察  �and 

Aucassin was ware of him�察�and gat his sword into his hand�察�and lashed at 

his   helm   with   such   a   stroke   that   he   drave   it   down   on   his   head�察  �and   he 

being     stunned�察   �fell  grovelling。   And    Aucassin     laid  hands    on   him�察  �and 

caught him by the nasal of his helmet�察�and gave him to his father。 

     ;Father�察─  �quoth   Aucassin�察   �lo   here   is   your   mortal   foe�察  �who   hath   so 

warred on you with all malengin。             Full twenty years did this war endure�察�

and might not be ended by man。; 

     ;Fair son�察─�said his father�察 �thy feats of youth shouldst thou do�察�and not 

seek after folly。; 

     ;Father�察─    �saith   Aucassin�察     �sermon     me   no   sermons�察    �but   fulfil  my 

covenant。; 

     ;Ha� �what covenant�察�fair son�拭─�

     ;What�察�father�察�hast thou forgotten it�拭         �By mine own head�察�whosoever 

forgets�察�will I not forget it�察�so much it hath me at heart。              Didst thou not 

covenant   with   me   when   I   took   up   arms�察  �and   went   into   the  stour�察  �that   if 

God brought me back safe and sound�察�thou wouldst let me see Nicolete�察�

my sweet lady�察�even so long that I may have of her two words or three�察�

and one kiss�拭      �So didst thou covenant�察�and my mind is that thou keep thy 

word。; 

     ;I� ─�quoth the father�察 �God forsake me when I keep this covenant� �Nay�察�

if she were here�察�I would let burn her in the fire�察�and thyself shouldst be 

sore adread。; 

     ;Is this thy last word�拭─�quoth Aucassin。 

     ;So help me God�察─�quoth his father�察 �yea� ─�

     ;Certes�察─�quoth Aucassin�察 �this is a sorry thing meseems�察�when a man 

of thine age lies� ─�

     ;Count of Valence�察─�quoth Aucassin�察 �I took thee�拭─�

     ;In sooth�察�Sir�察�didst thou�察─�saith the Count。 

     ;Give me thy hand�察─�saith Aucassin。 

     ;Sir�察�with good will。; 

     So he set his hand in the other's。 

     ;Now   givest   thou   me   thy   word�察─  �saith Aucassin�察   �that   never   whiles 

thou art living man wilt thou avail to do my father dishonour�察�or harm him 

in body�察�or in goods�察�but do it thou wilt�拭─�

     ;Sir�察�in God's name�察─�saith he�察 �mock me not�察�but put me to my ransom�察�

ye   cannot   ask   of   me   gold   nor   silver�察  �horses   nor   palfreys�察  �vair   nor   gris�察�

hawks nor hounds�察�but I will give you them。; 

     ;What�拭─  �quoth Aucassin。         ;Ha�察  �knowest   thou   not   it   was   I   that   took 

thee�拭─�

     ;Yea�察�sir�察─�quoth the Count Bougars。 

     ;God help me never�察�but I will make thy head fly from thy shoulders�察�

if thou makest not troth�察─�said Aucassin。 

     ;In God's name�察─�said he�察 �I make what promise thou wilt。; 

     So they did the oath�察�and Aucassin let mount him on a horse�察�and took 

another and so led him back till he was all in safety。 

       Here one singeth�此�

       When the Count Garin doth know That his child would ne'er forego 

Love of her that loved him so�察�Nicolete�察�the bright of brow�察�In a dungeon 

deep   below   Childe   Aucassin   did   he   throw。   Even   there   the   Childe   must 

dwell In a dun´walled marble cell。 There he waileth in his woe Crying thus 

as ye shall know。 

     ;Nicolete�察�thou lily white�察�My sweet lady�察�bright of brow�察�Sweeter than 

the grape art thou�察�Sweeter than sack posset good In a cup of maple wood� �

Was it not but yesterday That a palmer came this way�察�Out of Limousin 

came he�察�And at ease he might not be�察�For a passion him possessed That 

upon   his   bed   he   lay�察  �Lay�察  �and  tossed�察  �and   knew   not    rest   In   his  pain 

discomforted。 But thou camest by the bed�察�Where he tossed amid his pain�察�

Holding high thy sweeping train�察�And thy kirtle of ermine�察�And thy smock 

of linen fine�察�Then these fair white limbs of thine�察�Did he look on�察�and it 

fell That the palmer straight was well�察�Straight was haleand comforted�察�

And he rose up from his bed�察�And went back to his own place�察�Sound and 

strong�察  �and   full   of   face�   �My   sweet   lady�察  �lily   white�察  �Sweet   thy   footfall�察�

sweet thine eyes�察�And the mirth of thy replies。 Sweet thy laughter�察�sweet 

thy   face�察  �Sweet   thy   lips   and   sweet   thy   brow�察  �And   the   touch   of   thine 

embrace。 Who but doth in thee delight�拭�I for love of thee am bound In this 

dungeon   underground�察�All   for   loving   thee   must   lie   Here   where   loud   on 

thee I cry�察�Here for loving thee must die For thee�察�my love。; 

       Then say they�察�speak they�察�tell they the Tale�此�

     Aucassin was cast into prison as ye have heard tell�察�and Nicolete�察�of 

her   part�察  �was   in   the   chamber。  Now   it   was   summer   time�察  �the   month   of 

May�察  �when   days   are   warm�察  �and   long�察  �and   clear�察  �and   the   night   still   and 

serene。     Nicolete lay one night on her bed�察�and saw the moon shine clear 

through a window�察 �yea�察�and heard the nightingale sing   in the garden�察�so 

she minded her of Aucassin her lover whom she loved so well。                      Then fell 

she to thoughts of Count Garin de Biaucaire�察�that hated her to the death�察�

therefore deemed she that there she would no longer abide�察�for that�察�if she 

were told of�察�and the Count knew whereas she lay�察�an ill death would he 

make   her   die。    Now   she   knew   that   the   old   woman   slept   who   held   her 

company。       Then she arose�察�and clad her in a mantle of silk she had by her�察�

very goodly�察�and took napkins�察�and sheets of the bed�察�and knotted one to

the other�察�and made therewith a cord as long as she might�察�so knitted it to a 

pillar in the window�察�and let herself slip down into the garden�察�then caught 

up her raiment in both hands�察�behind and before�察�and kilted up her kirtle�察�
