The Hare in pees stod with the Hound;
And every man upon this ground
Which Arion that time herde;
Als wel the lord as the schepherde;
He broghte hem alle in good acord;
So that the comun with the lord;
And lord with the comun also;
He sette in love bothe tuo
And putte awey malencolie。
That was a lusti melodie;   1070
Whan every man with other low;
And if ther were such on now;
Which cowthe harpe as he tho dede;
He myhte availe in many a stede
To make pes wher now is hate;
For whan men thenken to debate;
I not what other thing is good。
Bot wher that wisdom waxeth wod;
And reson torneth into rage;
So that mesure upon oultrage   1080
Hath set his world; it is to drede;
For that bringth in the comun drede;
Which stant at every mannes Dore:
Bot whan the scharpnesse of the spore
The horse side smit to sore;
It grieveth ofte。 And now nomore;
As forto speke of this matiere;
Which non bot only god may stiere。





Explicit Prologus


Incipit Liber Primus


Naturatus amor nature legibus orbem
     Subdit; et vnanimes concitat esse feras:
Huius enim mundi Princeps amor esse videtur;
     Cuius eget diues; pauper et omnis ope。
Sunt in agone pares amor et fortuna; que cecas
     Plebis ad insidias vertit vterque rotas。
Est amor egra salus; vexata quies; pius error;
     Bellica pax; vulnus dulce; suaue malum。



I may noght strecche up to the hevene
Min hand; ne setten al in evene
This world; which evere is in balance:
It stant noght in my sufficance
So grete thinges to compasse;
Bot I mot lete it overpasse
And treten upon othre thinges。
Forthi the Stile of my writinges
Fro this day forth I thenke change
And speke of thing is noght so strange;    10
Which every kinde hath upon honde;
And wherupon the world mot stonde;
And hath don sithen it began;
And schal whil ther is any man;
And that is love; of which I mene
To trete; as after schal be sene。
In which ther can noman him reule;
For loves lawe is out of reule;
That of tomoche or of tolite
Welnyh is every man to wyte;   20
And natheles ther is noman
In al this world so wys; that can
Of love tempre the mesure;
Bot as it falth in aventure:
For wit ne strengthe may noght helpe;
And he which elles wolde him yelpe
Is rathest throwen under fote;
Ther can no wiht therof do bote。
For yet was nevere such covine;
That couthe ordeine a medicine   30
To thing which god in lawe of kinde
Hath set; for ther may noman finde
The rihte salve of such a Sor。
It hath and schal ben everemor
That love is maister wher he wile;
Ther can no lif make other skile;
For wher as evere him lest to sette;
Ther is no myht which him may lette。
Bot what schal fallen ate laste;
The sothe can no wisdom caste;    40
Bot as it falleth upon chance;
For if ther evere was balance
Which of fortune stant governed;
I may wel lieve as I am lerned
That love hath that balance on honde;
Which wol no reson understonde。
For love is blind and may noght se;
Forthi may no certeinete
Be set upon his jugement;
Bot as the whiel aboute went     50
He yifth his graces undeserved;
And fro that man which hath him served
Fulofte he takth aweye his fees;
As he that pleieth ate Dees;
And therupon what schal befalle
He not; til that the chance falle;
Wher he schal lese or he schal winne。
And thus fulofte men beginne;
That if thei wisten what it mente;
Thei wolde change al here entente。     60
And forto proven it is so;
I am miselven on of tho;
Which to this Scole am underfonge。
For it is siththe go noght longe;
As forto speke of this matiere;
I may you telle; if ye woll hiere;
A wonder hap which me befell;
That was to me bothe hard and fell;
Touchende of love and his fortune;
The which me liketh to comune    70
And pleinly forto telle it oute。
To hem that ben lovers aboute
Fro point to point I wol declare
And wryten of my woful care;
Mi wofull day; my wofull chance;
That men mowe take remembrance
Of that thei schall hierafter rede:
For in good feith this wolde I rede;
That every man ensample take
Of wisdom which him is betake;    80
And that he wot of good aprise
To teche it forth; for such emprise
Is forto preise; and therfore I
Woll wryte and schewe al openly
How love and I togedre mette;
Wherof the world ensample fette
Mai after this; whan I am go;
Of thilke unsely jolif wo;
Whos reule stant out of the weie;
Nou glad and nou gladnesse aweie;    90
And yet it may noght be withstonde
For oght that men may understonde。
Upon the point that is befalle
Of love; in which that I am falle;
I thenke telle my matiere:
Now herkne; who that wol it hiere;
Of my fortune how that it ferde。
This enderday; as I forthferde
To walke; as I yow telle may;…
And that was in the Monthe of Maii;     100
Whan every brid hath chose his make
And thenkth his merthes forto make
Of love that he hath achieved;
Bot so was I nothing relieved;
For I was further fro my love
Than Erthe is fro the hevene above;
As forto speke of eny sped:
So wiste I me non other red;
Bot as it were a man forfare
Unto the wode I gan to fare;   110
Noght forto singe with the briddes;
For whanne I was the wode amiddes;
I fond a swote grene pleine;
And ther I gan my wo compleigne
Wisshinge and wepinge al myn one;
For other merthes made I none。
So hard me was that ilke throwe;
That ofte sithes overthrowe
To grounde I was withoute breth;
And evere I wisshide after deth;     120
Whanne I out of my peine awok;
And caste up many a pitous lok
Unto the hevene; and seide thus:
〃O thou Cupide; O thou Venus;
Thou god of love and thou goddesse;
Wher is pite? wher is meknesse?
Now doth me pleinly live or dye;
For certes such a maladie
As I now have and longe have hadd;
It myhte make a wisman madd;   130
If that it scholde longe endure。
O Venus; queene of loves cure;
Thou lif; thou lust; thou mannes hele;
Behold my cause and my querele;
And yif me som part of thi grace;
So that I may finde in this place
If thou be gracious or non。〃
And with that word I sawh anon
The kyng of love and qweene bothe;
Bot he that kyng with yhen wrothe   140
His chiere aweiward fro me caste;
And forth he passede ate laste。
Bot natheles er he forth wente
A firy Dart me thoghte he hente
And threw it thurgh myn herte rote:
In him fond I non other bote;
For lenger list him noght to duelle。
Bot sche that is the Source and Welle
Of wel or wo; that schal betide
To hem that loven; at that tide     150
Abod; bot forto tellen hiere
Sche cast on me no goodly chiere:
Thus natheles to me sche seide;
〃What art thou; Sone?〃 and I abreide
Riht as a man doth out of slep;
And therof tok sche riht good kep
And bad me nothing ben adrad:
Bot for al that I was noght glad;
For I ne sawh no cause why。
And eft scheo asketh; what was I:   160
I seide; 〃A Caitif that lith hiere:
What wolde ye; my Ladi diere?
Schal I ben hol or elles dye?〃
Sche seide; 〃Tell thi maladie:
What is thi Sor of which thou pleignest?
Ne hyd it noght; for if thou feignest;
I can do the no medicine。〃
〃Ma dame; I am a man of thyne;
That in thi Court have longe served;
And aske that I have deserved;    170
Some wele after my longe wo。〃
And sche began to loure tho;
And seide; 〃Ther is ma
