And ayquere hit is endelez; and Englych hit callen
Oueral, as I here, the endeles knot.
Forthy hit acordez to this knyyght and to his cler armez,
For ay faythful in fyue and sere fyue sythez

 guardai in alto, e vidi le sue spalle

vestite gi? de' raggi del pianeta

che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle.

 Allor fu la paura un poco queta

che nel lago del cor m'era durata

la notte ch'i' passai con tanta pieta.

 E come quei che con lena affannata

uscito fuor del pelago a la riva

si volge a l'acqua perigliosa e guata,

 cos? l'animo mio, ch'ancor fuggiva,

si volse a retro a rimirar lo passo

che non lasci? gi? mai persona viva.

vestite gi? de' raggi del pianeta
che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle .

I looked on high and saw its shoulders clothed
already by the rays of that same planet
which serves to lead men straight along all roads.


Allor fu la paura un poco queta
che nel lago del cor m'era durata
la notte ch'i' passai con tanta pieta .

At this my fear was somewhat quieted;
for through the night of sorrow I had spent,

 TROUT FISHING



 ON THE STREET OF ETERNITY





Calle de Eternidad: We walked up from Gelatao, birthplace

of Benito Juarez. Instead of taking the road we followed a

path up along the creek. Some boys from the school in Gela-

tao told us that up along the creek was the shortcut.

 The creek was clear but a little milky, and as 1 remem-

...di Maria»,
disse Sordello, «a guardia de la valle,
per lo serpente che verrà vie via».
 Ond'io, che non sapeva per qual calle,
mi volsi intorno, e stretto m'accostai,
tutto gelato, a le fidate spalle.
 E Sordello anco: «Or avvalliamo omai
tra le grandi ombre, e parleremo ad esse;
grazioso fia lor vedervi assai».
 Solo tre passi credo ch'i' scendesse,
e fui di sotto, e vidi un che mirava
pur me, come conoscer mi volesse.
 Temp'era già che l'aere s'annerava,

Criseyde for to love, and nought repente.

And of his song nought only the sentence,
As writ myn autour called Lollius,
But pleynly, save our tonges difference, 
I dar wel sayn, in al that Troilus
Seyde in his song, lo! every word right thus
As I shal seyn; and who-so list it here,
Lo! next this vers, he may it finden here.

 Cantus Troili.

...epe I the tempestous matere 
Of desespeyr that Troilus was inne:
But now of hope the calendes biginne.
O lady myn, that called art Cleo,
Thou be my speed fro this forth, and my muse,
To ryme wel this book, til I have do; 
Me nedeth here noon other art to use.
For-why to every lovere I me excuse,
That of no sentement I this endyte,
But out of Latin in my tonge it wryte.

Wherfore I nil have neither thank ne blame 
Of al this werk, but prey yow mekely,

'But he that goth, for gold or for richesse, 
On swich message, calle him what thee list;
And this that thou dost, calle it gentilesse,

Why wiltow me fro Ioye thus depryve?

But wrecche of wrecches, out of honour falle
In-to miserie, in which I wol biwayle

But mighte me so fair a grace falle,

So lowly ne so trewely you serve

As she that was with sorwe oppressed so
That, in effect, she nought his tales herde,
