Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden, Vol. 12 of 18: Illustrated With Notes, Historical, Critical, and Explanatory, and a Life of the Author How wonnen was the regne of Feminie By Theseus, and by his chevalrie: And of the grete bataille for the nones Betwix Athenes and Amasones: And how asseged was Ipolita, The faire hardie quene of Scythia; And of the feste, that was at hire wedding, And of the temple at hire home coming: But all this thing I moste as now forbere; I have, God wot, a large feld to ere, And weke ben the oxen in my plowe: The remenent of my tale is long ynow. I wil not letten eke non of this route; Let every felaw telle his tale aboute, And let se now who shal the souper winne, There as I left, I will agen beginne. This duk, of whom I made mentioun, Whan he was comen almost to the toun, In all his wele and his moste pride, He was ware, as he cast his eye aside, Wher that ther kneled in the highe wey A compagnie of ladies, twey and twey, Eche after other, clad in clothes blake; But swiche a crie and swiche a wo they make, That in this world n´is creature living That ever heard swiche another waimenting; And of this crie ne wolde never stenten, Till they the reines of his bridel henten. What folk be ye that at min home coming Perturben so my feste with crying? Quod Theseus; have ye so grete envie Of min honour, that thus complaine and crie? Or who hath you misboden, or offended? Do telle me, if that it may be amended, And why ye be thus clothed all in blake? The oldest lady of hem all than spake, Whan she had swouned with a dedly chere, That it was reuthe for to seen and here. She sayde, Lord, to whom Fortune hath yeven Victorie, and as a conquueror to liven, Nought greveth us your glorie and your honour, But we beseke you of mercieand socour: Have mercie on our wo and our distresse: Some drope of pitee thrugh thy gentillesse Upon us wretched wimmen let now fall; For certes, lord, there n´is non of us alle About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
