;Nay�察 �fair boys�察─ �quoth she�察 �nay�察 �ye will do my bidding。 For this
beast is so mighty of medicine that thereby will Aucassin be healed of his
torment。 And lo� �I have five sols in my purse�察�take them�察�and tell him�此�
for within three days must he come hunting it hither�察�and if within three
days he find it not�察�never will he be healed of his torment。;
;My faith�察─�quoth he�察 �the money will we take�察�and if he come hither
we will tell him�察�but seek him we will not。;
;In God's name�察─�quoth she�察�and so took farewell of the shepherds�察�and
went her way。
Here singeth one�此�
Nicolete the bright of brow From the shepherds doth she pass All
below the blossomed bough Where an ancient way there was�察�Overgrown
and choked with grass�察�Till she found the cross´roads where Seven paths
do all way fare�察 �Then she deemeth she will try�察 �Should her lover pass
thereby�察�If he love her loyally。 So she gathered white lilies�察�Oak´leaf�察�that
in green wood is�察�Leaves of many a branch I wis�察�Therewith built a lodge
of green�察�Goodlier was never seen�察�Swore by God who may not lie�察 �If my
love the lodge should spy�察 �He will rest awhile thereby If he love me
loyally。; Thus his faith she deemed to try�察 �Or I love him not�察�not I�察�Nor he
loves me� ─�
Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
Nicolete built her lodge of boughs�察 �as ye have heard�察 �right fair and
feteously�察 �and wove it well�察 �within and without�察 �of flowers and leaves。
So lay she hard by the lodge in a deep coppice to know what Aucassin will
do。 And the cry and the bruit went abroad through all the country and all
the land�察�that Nicolete was lost。 Some told that she had fled�察�and some
that the Count Garin had let slay her。 Whosoever had joy thereof�察�no joy
had Aucassin。 And the Count Garin�察 �his father�察 �had taken him out of
prison�察 �and had sent for the knights of that land�察 �and the ladies�察 �and let
make a right great feast�察�for the comforting of Aucassin his son。 Now at
the high time of the feast�察�was Aucassin leaning from a gallery�察�all woful
and discomforted。 Whatsoever men might devise of mirth�察�Aucassin had
no joy thereof�察�nor no desire�察�for he saw not her that he loved。 Then a
knight looked on him�察�and came to him�察�and said�此�

Aucassin and Nicolete
;Aucassin�察�of that sickness of thine have I been sick�察�and good counsel
will I give thee�察�if thou wilt hearken to me;
;Sir�察─�said Aucassin�察 �gramercy�察�good counsel would I fain hear。;
;Mount thy horse�察─�quoth he�察 �and go take thy pastime in yonder forest�察�
there wilt thou see the good flowers and grass�察�and hear the sweet birds
sing。 Perchance thou shalt hear some word�察 �whereby thou shalt be the
better。;
;Sir�察─�quoth Aucassin�察 �gramercy�察�that will I do。;
He passed out of the hall�察�and went down the stairs�察�and came to the
stable where his horse was。 He let saddle and bridle him�察�and mounted�察�
and rode forth from the castle�察�and wandered till he came to the forest�察�so
rode till he came to the fountain and found the shepherds at point of noon。
And they had a mantle stretched on the grass�察�and were eating bread�察�and
making great joy。
Here one singeth�此�
There were gathered shepherds all�察�Martin�察�Esmeric�察�and Hal�察�Aubrey�察�
Robin�察 �great and small。 Saith the one�察 �Good fellows all�察 �God keep
Aucassin the fair�察�And the maid with yellow hair�察�Bright of brow and eyes
of vair。 She that gave us gold to ware。 Cakes therewith to buy ye know�察�
Goodly knives and sheaths also。 Flutes to play�察 �and pipes to blow�察 �May
God him heal� ─�
Here speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
When Aucassin heard the shepherds�察 �anon he bethought him of
Nicolete�察 �his sweet lady he loved so well�察 �and he deemed that she had
passed thereby�察 �then set he spurs to his horse�察 �and so came to the
shepherds。
;Fair boys�察�God be with you。;
;God bless you�察─�quoth he that had more words to his tongue than the
rest。
;Fair boys�察─�quoth Aucassin�察 �say the song again that anon ye sang。;
;Say it we will not�察─�quoth he that had more words to his tongue than
the rest�察 �foul fall him who will sing it again for you�察�fair sir� ─�
;Fair boys�察─�quoth Aucassin�察 �know ye me not�拭─�
;Yea�察�we know well that you are Aucassin�察�out damoiseau�察�natheless

we be not your men�察�but the Count's。;
;Fair boys�察�yet sing it again�察�I pray you。;
;Hearken� �by the Holy Heart�察─�quoth he�察 �wherefore should I sing for
you�察 �if it likes me not�拭�Lo�察 �there is no such rich man in this country�察�
saving the body of Garin the Count�察�that dare drive forth my oxen�察�or my
cows�察�or my sheep�察�if he finds them in his fields�察�or his corn�察�lest he lose
his eyes for it�察�and wherefore should I sing for you�察�if it likes me not�拭─�
;God be your aid�察�fair boys�察�sing it ye will�察�and take ye these ten sols I
have here in a purse。;
;Sir�察�the money will we take�察�but never a note will I sing�察�for I have
given my oath�察�but I will tell thee a plain tale�察�if thou wilt。;
;By God�察─�saith Aucassin�察 �I love a plain tale better than naught。;
;Sir�察 �we were in this place�察 �a little time agone�察 �between prime and
tierce�察�and were eating our bread by this fountain�察�even as now we do�察�and
a maid came past�察�the fairest thing in the world�察�whereby we deemed that
she should be a fay�察�and all the wood shone round about her。 Anon she
gave us of that she had�察�whereby we made covenant with her�察�that if ye
came hither we would bid you hunt in this forest�察�wherein is such a beast
that�察 �an ye might take him�察 �ye would not give one limb of him for five
hundred marks of silver�察�nor for no ransom�察�for this beast is so mighty of
medicine�察�that�察�an ye could take him�察�ye should be healed of your torment�察�
and within three days must ye take him�察�and if ye take him not then�察�never
will ye look on him。 So chase ye the beast�察�an ye will�察�or an ye will let be�察�
for my promise have I kept with her。;
;Fair boys�察─�quoth Aucassin�察 �ye have said enough。 God grant me to
find this quarry。;
Here one singeth。
Aucassin when he had heard�察�Sore within his heart was stirred�察�Left
the shepherds on that word�察�Far into the forest spurred Rode into the wood�察�
and fleet Fled his horse through paths of it�察�Three words spake he of his
sweet�察 �Nicolete the fair�察�the dear�察�'Tis for thee I follow here Track of boar�察�
nor slot of deer�察�But thy sweet body and eyes so clear�察�All thy mirth and
merry cheer�察�That my very heart have slain�察�So please God to me maintain
I shall see my love again�察�Sweet sister�察�friend� ─�

Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
Aucassin fared through the forest from path to path after Nicolete�察�and
his horse bare him furiously。 Think ye not that the thorns him spared�察�nor
the briars�察�nay�察�not so�察�but tare his raiment�察�that scarce a knot might be tied
with the soundest part thereof�察�and the blood sprang from his arms�察 �and
flanks�察�and legs�察�in forty places�察�or thirty�察�so that behind the Childe men
might follow on the track of his blood in the grass。 But so much he went
in thoughts of Nicolete�察�his lady sweet�察�that he felt no pain nor torment�察�
and all the day hurled through the forest in this fashion nor heard no word
of her。 And when he saw Vespers draw nigh�察�he began to weep for that
he found her not。 All down an old road�察�and grassgrown he fared�察�when
anon�察�looking along the way before him�察�he saw such an one as I shall tell
you。 Tall was he�察 �and great of growth�察 �laidly and marvellous to look
upon�此 �his head huge�察�and black as charcoal�察�and more than the breadth of
a hand between his two eyes�察�and great cheeks�察�and a big nose and broad�察�
big nostrils and ugly�察�and thick lips redder than a collop�察�and great teeth
yellow and ugly�察 �and he was shod with hosen and shoon of bull's hide�察�
bound with cords of bark over the knee�察�and all about him a great cloak
twy´fold�察�and he leaned on a grievous cudgel�察�and Aucassin came unto him�察�
and was afraid when he beheld him。
;Fair brother�察�God aid thee。;
;God bless you�察─�quoth he。
;As God he helpeth thee�察�what makest thou here�拭─�
;What is that to thee�拭─�
;Nay�察�naught�察�naught�察─�saith Aucassin�察 �I ask but out of courtesy。;
;But for whom weepest thou�察─ �quoth he�察 �and makest such heavy
lament�拭 �Certes�察�were I as rich a man as thou�察�the whole world should not
make me weep。;
;Ha� �know ye me�拭─�saith Aucassin。
;Yea�察�I know well that ye be
