Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Vol. 2: Edited With a Memoir And stelith fro us, what pryvely slepyng, And what thurgh necligence in oure wakyng, As doth the streem, that torneth never agayn, Descendyng fro the mounteyn into playn. Wel can Senek and many philosopher Bywaylen time, more than gold in cofre. For losse of catel may recovered be. But losse of tyme schendeth us, quod he. It wil nat come agayn, withoute drede, Nomore than wol Malkyns maydenhede, Whan sche had lost it in hir wantownesse. Let us nat mowlen thus in ydelnesse. ´Sir Man of Lawe´ quod he, ´so have ye blisse, Telle us a tale anon, as forward ys. Ye be submitted thurgh your fre assent To stonden in this cas at my juggement. Acquyteth yow, and holdeth youre byheste; Than have ye doon your devour atte leste.´ ´Host,´ quod he, ´De par Dieux jeo assente, To breke forward is nat myn entent. Byheste is dette, and I wol holde fayn Al my byhest, I can no better sayn. For such lawe as a man geveth another wight, He schuld himselve usen it by right. Thus wol oure text: but natheles certeyn I can right now non other tale seyn, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
