Here one singeth�此�
Aucassin the frank�察 �the fair�察 �Aucassin of the yellow hair�察 �Gentle
knight�察�and true lover�察�From the forest doth he fare�察�Holds his love before
him there�察�Kissing cheek�察�and chin�察�and eyes�察�But she spake in sober wise�察�
;Aucassin�察�true love and fair�察�To what land do we repair�拭─�Sweet my love�察�
I take no care�察�Thou art with me everywhere� �So they pass the woods and
downs�察�Pass the villages and towns�察�Hills and dales and open land�察�Came
at dawn to the sea sand�察�Lighted down upon the strand�察�Beside the sea。
Then say they�察�speak they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
Aucassin lighted down and his love�察�as ye have heard sing。 He held
his horse by the bridle�察�and his lady by the hands�察�so went they along the
sea shore�察�and on the sea they saw a ship�察�and he called unto the sailors�察�
and they came to him。 Then held he such speech with them�察�that he and
his lady were brought aboard that ship�察�and when they were on the high
sea�察�behold a mighty wind and tyrannous arose�察�marvellous and great�察�and
drave them from land to land�察�till they came unto a strange country�察�and
won the haven of the castle of Torelore。 Then asked they what this land
might be�察 �and men told them that it was the country of the King of
Torelore。 Then he asked what manner of man was he�察�and was there war
afoot�察�and men said�察�
;Yea�察�and mighty� ─�
Therewith took he farewell of the merchants�察 �and they commended
him to God。 Anon Aucassin mounted his horse�察�with his sword girt�察�and
his lady before him�察�and rode at adventure till he was come to the castle。
Then asked he where the King was�察�and they said that he was in childbed。
;Then where is his wife�拭─�
And they told him she was with the host�察�and had led with her all the
force of that country。
Now when Aucassin heard that saying�察 �he made great marvel�察 �and
came into the castle�察�and lighted down�察�he and his lady�察�and his lady held
his horse。 Right so went he up into the castle�察�with his sword girt�察�and

fared hither and thither till he came to the chamber where the King was
lying。
Here one singeth�此�
Aucassin the courteous knight To the chamber went forthright�察�To the
bed with linen dight Even where the King was laid。 There he stood by him
and said�此 �Fool�察 �what mak'st thou here abed�拭─ �Quoth the King�此 �I am
brought to bed Of a fair son�察�and anon When my month is over and gone�察�
And my healing fairly done�察�To the Minster will I fare And will do my
churching there�察�As my father did repair。 Then will sally forth to war�察�Then
will drive my foes afar From my countrie� ─�
Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
When Aucassin heard the King speak on this wise�察 �he took all the
sheets that covered him�察 �and threw them all abroad about the chamber。
Then saw he behind him a cudgel�察�and caught it into his hand�察�and turned�察�
and took the King�察�and beat him till he was well´ nigh dead。
;Ha� �fair sir�察─�quoth the King�察 �what would you with me�拭 �Art thou
beside thyself�察�that beatest me in mine own house�拭─�
;By God's heart�察─�quoth Aucassin�察 �thou ill son of an ill wench�察�I will
slay thee if thou swear not that never shall any man in all thy land lie in of
child henceforth for ever。;
So he did that oath�察�and when he had done it�察�
;Sir�察─�said Aucassin�察 �bring me now where thy wife is with the host。;
;Sir�察�with good will�察─�quoth the King。
He mounted his horse�察 �and Aucassin gat on his own�察 �and Nicolete
abode in the Queen's chamber。 Anon rode Aucassin and the King even
till they came to that place where the Queen was�察 �and lo� �men were
warring with baked apples�察 �and with eggs�察 �and with fresh cheeses�察 �and
Aucassin began to look on them�察�and made great marvel。
Here one singeth�此�
Aucassin his horse doth stay�察�From the saddle watched the fray�察�All
the stour and fierce array�察�Right fresh cheeses carried they�察�Apples baked�察�
and mushrooms grey�察�Whoso splasheth most the ford He is master called
and lord。 Aucassin doth gaze awhile�察�Then began to laugh and smile And
made game。

Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
When Aucassin beheld these marvels�察�he came to the King�察�and said�察�
;Sir�察�be these thine enemies�拭─�
;Yea�察�Sir�察─�quoth the King。
;And will ye that I should avenge you of them�拭─�
;Yea�察─�quoth he�察 �with all my heart。;
Then Aucassin put hand to sword�察�and hurled among them�察�and began
to smite to the right hand and the left�察�and slew many of them。 And when
the King saw that he slew them�察�he caught at his bridle and said�察�
;Ha� �fair sir�察�slay them not in such wise。;
;How�察─ �quoth Aucassin�察 �will ye not that I should avenge you of
them�拭─�
;Sir�察─�quoth the King�察 �overmuch already hast thou avenged me。 It is
nowise our custom to slay each other。;
Anon turned they and fled。 Then the King and Aucassin betook them
again to the castle of Torelore�察 �and the folk of that land counselled the
King to put Aucassin forth�察�and keep Nicolete for his son's wife�察�for that
she seemed a lady high of lineage。 And Nicolete heard them�察�and had no
joy of it�察�so began to say�此�
Here singeth one�此�
Thus she spake the bright of brow�此 �Lord of Torelore and king�察�Thy
folk deem me a light thing�察�When my love doth me embrace�察�Fair he finds
me�察�in good case�察�Then am I in such derray�察�Neither harp�察�nor lyre�察�nor lay�察�
Dance nor game�察�nor rebeck play Were so sweet。;
Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
Aucassin dwelt in the castle of Torelore�察�in great ease and great delight�察�
for that he had with him Nicolete his sweet love�察�whom he loved so well。
Now while he was in such pleasure and such delight�察 �came a troop of
Saracens by sea�察�and laid siege to the castle and took it by main strength。
Anon took they the substance that was therein and carried off the men and
maidens captives。 They seized Nicolete and Aucassin�察 �and bound
Aucassin hand and foot�察 �and cast him into one ship�察 �and Nicolete into
another。 Then rose there a mighty wind over sea�察�and scattered the ships。
Now that ship wherein was Aucassin�察 �went wandering on the sea�察 �till it

Aucassin and Nicolete
came to the castle of Biaucaire�察�and the folk of the country ran together to
wreck her�察�and there found they Aucassin�察�and they knew him again。 So
when they of Biaucaire saw their damoiseau�察�they made great joy of him�察�
for Aucassin had dwelt full three years in the castle of Torelore�察�and his
father and mother were dead。 So the people took him to the castle of
Biaucaire�察�and there were they all his men。 And he held the land in peace。
Here singeth one�此�
Lo ye�察�Aucassin hath gone To Biaucaire that is his own�察 �Dwelleth
there in joy and ease And the kingdom is at peace。 Swears he by the
Majesty Of our Lord that is most high�察�Rather would he they should die
All his kin and parentry�察�So that Nicolete were nigh。 ;Ah sweet love�察�and
fair of brow�察 �I know not where to seek thee now�察 �God made never that
countrie�察�Not by land�察�and not by sea�察�Where I would not search for thee�察�
If that might be� ─�
Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
Now leave we Aucassin�察�and speak we of Nicolete。 The ship wherein
she was cast pertained to the King of Carthage�察�and he was her father�察�and
she had twelve brothers�察�all princes or kings。 When they beheld Nicolete�察�
how fair she was�察�they did her great worship�察�and made much joy of her�察�
and many times asked her who she was�察�for surely seemed she a lady of
noble line and high parentry。 But she might not tell them of her lineage�察�
for she was but a child when men stole her away。 So sailed they till they
won the City of Carthage�察�and when Nicolete saw the walls of the castle�察�
and the country´side�察 �she knew that there had she been nourished and
thence stolen away�察�being but a child。 Yet was she not so young a child
but that well she knew she had been daughter of the King of Carthage�察�and
of her nurture in that city。
Here singeth one�此�
Nicolete the good and true To the land hath come anew�察 �Sees the
palaces and walls�察�And the houses and the halls� �Then she spake and said�察�
;Alas� �That of birth so great I was�察 �Cousin of the Amiral And the very
child of him Carthage counts King of Paynim�察 �Wild folk hold me here
withal�察�Nay Aucassin�察�love of thee Gentle knight�察�and true�察�and free�察�Burns
and wastes the heart of me。 Ah God grant it of his grace�察�That thou hold

me�察�and embrace�察�That thou kiss me on the face Love and lord� ─�
Then speak they�察�say they�察�tell they the Tale�此�
When the King of Carthage heard Nicolete speak in this wise�察�he cast
his arms about her neck。
;Fair sweet love�察─�saith he�察 �tell me who thou art�察�and be not adread of
me。;
;Sir�察─�said she�察 �I am daughter to the King of Carthage�察�and was taken�察�
being then a little child�察�it is now fifteen years gone。;
When all they of the court heard her speak thus�察�they knew well that
she spake sooth�此 �so made they great joy of her�察�and led her to the castle
in great honour�察�as the King's daughter。 And they would have given her
to her lord a King of Paynim�察�but she had no mind to marry。 There dwelt
she three days or four。 And she considered by what means she might
seek for Aucassin。 Then she got her a viol�察�and learned to play on it�察�till
they would have married her on a day to a great King of Paynim�察�and she
stole forth by night�察 �and came to the
