This visit of his to Italy is of great importance, as it exercised a marked influence on his writings, and enables us to understand the development of his genius. 1374. His conduct during this mission to Italy met with the full approval of the king, who, on the celebration of the great festival at Windsor on St. George's day (April 23) in 1374, granted our poet a pitcher of wine daily, to be received from the king's butler. On May 10 of the same year, Chaucer took a lease of a house in Aid- gate, for the term of his life, from the Corporation of London ; but he afterwards gave it up to a friend in October, 1386 ; and it is probable that he had ceased to reside in it for a year or more previously. On June 8, 1374, he was appointed to the important office of Comptroller of the Customs and Subsidy of Wools, Skins, and Leather, for the port of London ; and a few days later (June 13) received a life-pension of 10/. from the duke of Lancaster for the good service rendered by him and his wife Philippa to the said Duke, to his consort, and to his mother the Queen. This is the first mention of Philippa Chaucer as Geoffrey's wife, though a Philippa Chaucer is men- tioned as one of the Ladies of the Chamber to Queen Philippa, on September 12, 1366, and subsequently. It has been conjectured that Chaucer was not married till 1374, and that he married a relative, or at least some one bearing the same name as himself ; but this supposition is needless and improbable; there is no reason why the Philippa Chaucer mentioned in 1366 may not have been already married to the poet, who was then at least 26 years of age. 1375. In 1375 his income was increased by receiving from the Crown (Novem- ber 8) the custody of the lands and person of one Edmond Staplegate, of Kent. This he retained for three years, during which he received 104/.; together with some smaller sums from another source. 1376. On July 12, 1376, the king granted Chaucer the sum of 71/. 4s. 6^., being the value of a fine paid by one John Kent for shipping wool without paying the duty thereon. Towards the end of this year, Sir John Burley and Geoffrey Chaucer were employed upon some secret service, for which the latter received 6/. 13^'. 4d. 1377. In February, 1377, Chaucer was employed on a secret mission to Flanders, and received for it, in all, the sum of 30/. In April he was sent to France, to treat for peace with king Charles V. ; for this service he received, in all, the sum of 48/. 13^'. 4d. On June 21, king Edward III. died, and was succeeded by his grandson, Richard II. 1378. In January, Chaucer seems to have been employed in France. Soon after- wards, he was again sent to Italy, from May 28 to September 19, being employed on a mission to Lombardy, to treat with Bernabo Visconti, duke of Milan ; to whose death (in 1385) the poet alludes in his Monkes Tale (11. 3589-3596) , where he describes him as — ' Of Melan grete Barnabo Viscounte, God of delyt, and scourge of Lumbardye.' Before leaving England on this business, Chaucer appointed his friend John Gower, the poet, as one of his agents to represent him in his absence. 1380. By deed of May i, 1380, one Cecilia Chaumpayne released Chaucer from a charge which she had brought against him, ' de raptu meo.' We have no means of ascertaining either the nature of the charge, or the circumstances of the case. 1382. We have seen that Chaucer had been appointed Comptroller of the Wool %itz of Cf)aucer. xi Customs in 1374. Whilst still retaining this office, he was now also appointed Comp- troller of the Petty Customs (May 8, 1382). 1385. In February, 1385, he was allowed the great privilege of nominating a per- manent deputy to perform his duties as Comptroller. It is highly probable that he owed this favour to ' the good queen Anne,' first wife of king Richard II.; for, in the Prologue to the Legend of Good Women, probably written during this period of his newly-acquired freedom from irksome duties, he expresses himself most gratefully towards her. If we may trust the description of his house and garden in the Prologue to the Legend of Good Women, probably composed in the spring of 1385, it would appear that he was then living in the country, and had already given up his house over the city gate at Aldgate to Richard Forster, who obtained a formal lease of it from the Cor- poration of London in October, 1386. We learn incidentally, from a note to the Envoy to Scogan, 1. 45, that he was living at Greenwich at the time when he wrote that poem (probably in 1393). And it is highly probable that Chaucer's residence at Green- wich extended from 1385 to the end of 1399, when he took a new house at Westminster. This supposition agrees well with various hints that we obtain from other notices. Thus, in 1390, he was appointed (with five others) to superintend the repairing of the banks of the Thames between Woolwich and Greenwich. In the same year he was robbed at Hatcham (as we shall see below), which is near Deptford and Greenwich. And we find the singular reference in the Canterbury Tales (A 3907), where the Host suddenly exclaims — ' Lo ! Grenewich, ther many a shrewe is inne ' ; which looks like a sly insinuation, on the Host's part, that Greenwich at that time contained many ' shrews ' or rascals. Few places would serve better than Greenwich for frequent obser- vation of Canterbury pilgrims. 1386. In this year Chaucer was elected a knight of the shire for Kent, in the Parliament held at Westminster. In August, his patron John of Gaunt went to Spain ; and during his absence, his brother Thomas, duke of Gloucester, contrived to deprive the king of all power, by appointing a regency of eleven persons, himself being at the head of them. As the duke of Gloucester was ill disposed towards his brother John, it is probable that we can thus account for the fact that, in December of this year, Chaucer was dismissed from both his offices, of Comptroller of Wool and Comptroller of Petty Customs, others being appointed in his place. This sudden and great loss reduced the poet from comparative wealth to poverty; he was compelled to raise money upon his pensions, which were assigned to John Scalby on May I, 1388. In October of this year (1386), there was a famous trial between Richard Lord Scrope and Sir Thomas Grosvenor, during which Chaucer deposed that he was ' forty years of age and upwards, and had borne arms for twenty-seven years.' He was, in fact, about forty-six years old, having been born, as said above, about 1340. More- over, it is probable that he first bore arms in 1359, when he went with the invading army to France. This exactly tallies with his own statement. 1387. In this year died Chaucer's wife, Philippa ; to this loss he alludes in his Envoy to Bukton. It must have been about this time that he was composing portions of his greatest poem, the Canterbury Tales. 1389. On May 3, Richard II. suddenly took the government into his own hands. John of Gaunt returned to England soon afterwards, and effected an outward recon- ciliation between the king and the duke of Gloucester. The Lancastrian party was xii lEnttotiuction. now once more in power, and Chaucer was appointed Clerk of the King's Works at Westminster on July 12, at a salary of 2J. a day (more than i/. of our present money, at the least). 1390. In this year, Chaucer was also appointed Clerk of the Works at St. George's Chapel at Windsor, and was put on a Commission to repair the banks of the Thames between Woolwich and Greenwich. In a writ, dated July i in this year, he was allowed the costs of putting up Scaffolds in Smithfield for the King and Queen to view the tournament which had taken place there in May. This helps to explain the minute account of the method of conducting a tournament which we meet with in the Knight's Tale. In the preceding month he had been appointed, by the Earl of March, joint Forester (with Richard Brittle) of North Petherton Park in Somerset. In September, he was twice robbed of some of the king's money; once, at Westminster, of 10/.; and again, near the ' foule ok' (foul oak) at Hatcham, Surrey, of 9/. y. 8d. ; but the repayment of these sums was forgiven him. 1391. This is the date given by Chaucer to his prose Treatise on the Astrolabe, which he compiled for the use of his ' little son ' Lewis, of whom nothing more is known ; and it is supposed that he died at an early age. At this time, for some unknown reason, the poet unfortunately lost his appointment as Clerk of the Works. 1394, In February of this year, Chaucer received a grant from the king of 20/. a year for life ; nevertheless, he seems to have been in want of money, as we find him making applications for the advancement of money from his pension. 1398. In this year or the preceding, Chaucer was made sole Forester of North Petherton Park, instead of joint Forester, as in 1390. In the Easter Term, he was sued for a debt of 14/. is. iid. In October, the king granted him a tun of wine yearly, for his life-time. 1399. On September 30, Henry IV. became king of England, and Chaucer ad- dressed to him a complaint regarding his poverty, called a ' Compleynt to his Purs," in response to which, only four days afterwards, Henry granted that the poet's pension of twenty marks (13/. 6s. 8d.) should be doubled, in addition to the 20/. a year which had been granted to him in 1394. On Christmas eve of this year, Chaucer took a long lease of a house in the garden of the Chapel of St. Mary, Westminster ; this house stood near the spot now occupied by King Henry the Seventh's Chapel. The lease is in the Muniment Room of West- minster Abbey (Historical MSS. Commission, i. 95). 1400. The traditional date of Chaucer's death is October 25, 1400 ; in the second year of Henry IV. His death doubtless took place in his newly-acquired house at Westminster ; and he attained to the age of about sixty years. Of his family, nothing is known. His ' little son ' Lewis probably died young ; and there is no evi- dence earlier than the reign of Henry VI. that the Thomas Chaucer whose great- grandson, John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, was declared heir to the throne by his uncle, Richard III., in 1484, was Chaucer's son. As Thomas Chaucer was a man of great wealth, and of some mark, we should have expected to find early and undoubted evidence as to his parentage. We find, however, that Thomas Gascoigne, who wrote a Theological Dictionary, and died in 1458, refers to the poet in these words: — ' Fuit idem Chawserus pater Thomae Chawserus, armigeri, qui Thomas sepelitur in Nuhelm iuxta Oxoniam." Gascoigne was in a position to know the truth, since he was Chan- cellor of Oxford, and Thomas Chaucer had held the manor of Ewelme, at no ^fjaracter o! €^f)aucer. xiii great distance, till his death in 1434. If this information be correct, it then becomes highly probable that Chaucer's wife Philippa was Philippa Roet, sister of the Katharine de Roet of Hainault, who married Sir John Swynford, and after- wards became the mistress, and in 1396 the third wife of John of Gaunt. This has been inferred from the fact that Thomas Chaucer's arms contain three wheels, supposed to represent the name of Roet ; since the Old French roet means ' a little wheel.' Those who accept this inference see good reasons for explaining the favours extended to Chaucer both by John of Gaunt himself and his son King Henry IV. CHARACTER OF CHAUCER. There is no space here for exhibiting fully the revelation of Chaucer's character as expressed by numerous passages in his works. We easily recognise in them a man of cheerful and genial nature, with great powers of originality, full of freshness and humour, a keen observer of men, and at the same time an en- thusiastic and untiring student of books. He tells a story excellently and sets his characters before us with dramatic clearness ; and he has also an exquisite ear for music and pays great attention to the melodious flow of his verse. Except in his prose tales, he frequently affects, in his Canterbury Tales, an air of simplicity which sits upon him gracefully enough. In his Prologue to Sir Thopas, he describes himself as a ' large,' i. e. a somewhat corpulent man, and no ' poppet ' to embrace, that is, not slender in the waist ; as having an ' elvish ' or abstracted look, often staring on the ground ' as if he would find a hare,' and ' doing no dalliance ' to any man, i. e. not entering briskly into casual conversation. His numerous references and quotations show that he was deeply read in all medieval learning, and well acquainted with Latin, French (both of England and of the continent), and Italian, besides being a master of the East-midland dialect of English. A passage in the Reves Tale imitates some of the peculiarities of the Northumbrian dialect with much fidelity. On the other hand, he occasionally introduces forms into his poems that are peculiarly Kentish ; owing, as I am inclined to suggest, to his residence for some years at Greenwich. In his Hous 0/ Fame,hQ tells us how he had ' set his wit to make books, songs, and ditties in rime,' and often ' made his head ache at night with writing in his study.' For, when he had done his official work for the day, and ' made his reckonings,' he used to go home and become wholly absorbed in his books, ' hearing neither this nor that ' ; and, ' in stead of rest and new things' (recreation), he used 'to sit at a book, as dumb as a stone, till his look was dased ' ; and thus did he ' live as a hermit, though (unlike a hermit) his abstinence was but little.' So great (as he tells us in the Prologue to The Legend of Good Women) was his love of nature, that, ' when the month of May is come, and I hear the birds sing, and see the flowers springing up, farewell then to my book and to my devotion ' to reading. In many passages he insists on the value of the purity of womanhood and the nobility of manhood, taking the latter to be de- pendent upon good feeling and courtesy. As he says in The Wife of Bath's Tale, ' the man who is always the most virtuous, and most endeavours to be constant in the performance of gentle deeds, is to be taken to be the greatest gentleman. Christ desires that we should derive our gentleness from Him, and not from our ancestors, however rich.' 3dv JIntrotiuctian, WRITINGS OF CHAUCER. Other notices of Chaucer must be gathered from his writings and from what we know about them. It is advisable to date his various works, where possible, as well as we can, and to consider the result. Chaucer's works fall (as shewn by Ten Brink) into three periods. During the first of these, he imitated French models, particularly the famous and very long poem entitled Le Roman de la Rose, of which, as he himself tells us, he made a translation. It so happens that there exist what are apparently two, but are really three frag- ments of translations of two different parts of this poem ; they are found in a MS. at Glasgow, written out about A.D. 1430-40, and in the early printed editions. These three fragments, marked A, B, C in the present volume, appear to be by different hands ; and only the first of them can be reconciled with Chaucer's usual diction and grammar. We must regretfully infer that the major part of Chaucer's own translation is irrecoverably lost. The poems of this First Period were written before he set out on his Itahan travels in 1372, and there is no trace in them of any Italian influence. The poems of the Second Period (1373-1384) clearly shew the influence of Italian literature, especially of Dante's Divina Commedia, and of Boccaccio's poems entitled 11 Teseide and II Filostrato. Curiously enough, there is nothing to shew that Chaucer was acquainted, at first-hand, with Boccaccio's Decamerone. The poems of the Third Period are chiefly remarkable for a larger share of origi- nality, and are considered as beginning with the Legend of Good Women, the first poem in which the poet employed what is now known as the 'heroic' couplet, which he adapted from Guillaume de Machault. The following list is arranged, conjecturally, in chronological order. Origenes upon the Maudeleyne {lost). Book of the Leoun {lost). Ceys and Alcioun ; afterwards (probably) partly preserved in the Book of the Duchesse. The Romaunt of the Rose. (Fragment A (11. 1-1705) is all that can fairly be claimed as Chaucer's work. Fragment B is written in a dialect approximating to that of Lincolnshire. The author of Fragment C, like that of B, remains unknown.) A. B. C. — Minor Poems, I. 1369. Book of the Duchesse. — M. P.

Several of Chaucer's Poems were printed at various times by Caxton and others, but the first collected edition of his works was that edited by W. Thynne in 1532. This was reprinted, with the addition of the spurious Ploivmau's Tale,'m 1542; and again, about 1550. Later editions appeared in 1561 (with large additions by John Stowe) ; in 1598 (re-edited by Thomas Speght), second edition, 1602, and reprinted in 1687. Still later editions were the very bad one by Urry, in 1721, and the excellent one by Tyrwhitt, of the Canterbury Tales only, in 1775-8. These editions, excepting Tyrwhitt's, have done much to confuse the public as to the genuine works of Chaucer, because in them a large number of poems, some known (even by the editors) to be by Lydgate, Govver, Hoccleve, and Scogan, together with others obviously spurious, were carelessly added to works by Chaucer himself ; and many erroneous notions have been deduced from the study of this incongruous mixture. It must suffice to say here that most of the later editions, since the publication of Tyrwhitt's remarks on the subject, reject many of these additional pieces, but still unadvisedly admit the poems entitled The Cou?t of Love, The Complaint of the Black Knight, Chaucer s Dream, The Floiver and the Leaf, and The Cuckoo and the Nightin- gale. Of these. The Complaint of the Black Knight is now known to be by Lydgate ; The Flower and the Leaf cannot be earlier than 1450, and was probably written, as it xvi UntrotJuction. purports to be, by a lady ; whilst The Court of Love can hardly be earlier than 1500, and Chaucer's Dream (so called) is of still later date. Nothing but a complete igno- rance of the history of the English language can connect these fifteenth-century and sixteenth-century poems with Chaucer. The only poem, in the above set, which can possibly be as old as the fourteenth century, is The Cuckoo and the Nightingale. There is no evidence of any kind to connect it with Chaucer ; and Professor Lounsbury decisively rejects it, on the internal evidence. It admits a few rimes (see p. xxii) such as Chaucer nowhere employs. GRAMMATICAL HINTS. The following brief hints contain but a minimum of information, and include nothing that should not be extremely familiar to the student. Observe that, in Chaucer's English, the final syllables -e, -ed, -en, -es, almost always form a distinct and separate syllable, so that a large number of words had then a syllable more than they have now. Unless this rule be observed, no progress in the study is possible. In particular, always sound this final -e (like the a in China) at the end of a line. Final -e is elided, or slurred over, when the next word begins with a vowel, oris one of certain words beginning with //, viz. (i) a pronoun, as he ; (2) part of the verb have ; (3) the adverbs heer, how ; (4) mute h in honour, houre. In a similar position, final -er, -en, -el, -y are slurred over likewise ; thus^^/-if« is really ^^/';z in 1. 291I. Final -^ is sometimes dropped in a few common words, such as were, were, hadde, had, wolde, would. Middle -e- is also sometimes dropped, as in havenes, pronounced (haavnez), 1. 407. But trew-e-ly (481) is trisyllabic. Tlie reasons for sounding the final -e, -en, -es, as distinct syllables, are grammatical. These endings represent older inflexions, mostly Anglo-Saxon ; and were once, in fact, essential. But, in Chaucer's time, they were beginning to disappear, and many are now lost altogether. Final -e. The various sources of the M.E. (i. e. Middle-English) final -e are, chiefly, these following. 1. The A.S. (Anglo-Saxon) sb. ended in a vowel. Thus A.S. har-a, a hare, became M.E. har-e (191). 2. The A.F. (Anglo-French) sb. ended in a vowel which was formerly sounded. Thus A.F. melodl-e (four syllables) is M.E. melody-e (four syllables, 9). 3. The dative case often ends in -e, especially after the prepositions at, by, for, in, of, on, to. Thus rot-e (2) is the dative case of root, a root. We even find the form of an oblique case used as a nom. case, owing to confusion. Thus A.S. hwelp, a whelp, makes the dat. hwelp-e ; Chaucer has whelp-e as a nominative (257). 4. The forms hell-e (so in A.S.) , sonn-e (A.S. sunn-an) are genitives ; see Book Duch. 171 ; A 1051. Similarly -y represents a genitive suffix in lad-y, 88, 695. 5. The definite form of the adjective (i. e. the form used when the def. art. the or a possessive or demonstrative pronoun precedes it) ends in -e. Ex. : the yong-e, 7. 6. The adj. pi. ends in -e ; as smal-e, 9. 1 The numbers refer to the lines of The Prologue to the Canterbury Tales; see p. 419. (Grammatical Joints. xvii 7. Even the adj. sing, may end in -e ; as sioet-e (5), from A.S. swete, sweet, in which the final -e is essentia]. So also trewe, from A.S. treowe ; 531. 8. Verbs : the infinitive and gerund (with to) end in -en or -e ; as bigitin-e, 42 ; for to rys-e, 33. 9. Strong verbs : the pp. (past participle) ends in -en or -e ; as y-ronn-e, 8. 10. Weak verbs: the pt. t. (past tense) ends in -ede, -de, -te,-e ; as say-de,'jo. Some- times in -ed, a.s prov-ed, 547. Observe lakk-e-de, 756; lov'de, 97; wei-te, 129; went-e,^^. 11. Verbs: various other inflexions in -en or -^. Thus slep-en, 3 p. pr. pi., 10; wer-en, i p. pt. pi., 29; gess-e, i p. pr. s., 82; smert-e, 3 p. pr. s. subj., 230, &c. 12. Adverbs and prepositions may end in -en or -e ; as abov-en, 53 ; about-e, prep. 158, adv. 488. Final -en. The suffix -en usually denotes either (i) the pi. sb., as hos-en, 456; (2) the infin. or gerundial infin. of a verb, as to wend-en, 21 ; (3) the pp. of a strong verb, as holp-en, 18 ; (4) the pi. of any tense of a verb, as wer-en, i p. pt. p]., 29; (5) a prep, or adverb, as abov-en, 53. Final -es. The final -es denotes either (i) the gen. sing., as lord-es, 47; (2) the pi. sb., as shour-es, 1 ; or (3) an adverb, as thry-es, 562. But the gen. of lady is lady ; and oi fader \% fader. And the plural may end in -s, as in. palmers, 13. The student should endeavour to make out, in every case, the reason for the use of final -e, -en, or -es. He will thus acquire the grammar. The above hints explain most cases that can arise. Further notes. Some neuter sbs. do not change in the plural, as hors, pi. hors, 74. So also neet, sheep, swyn, yeer. Comparatives end in -er, as grett-er, adj., 197; or -re, as fer-re, adv., 48. Super- latives, in -est, occasional def. form -est-e, as best-e, 252, Pronouns : tho, those ; this, pi. thise, these; thilke, that; like, same, Atte, for at the. Ye, nom. ; yow, dat. and ace, you. Hir, their (also her); hem, them. His, his, its. Whiche, what sort of, 40; what, i. e. 'why,' 184; That . . . he, who, 44, 45; luho so, whoever, 741. Afen, one, with a sing, verb, as men smoot, one smote, 149. Verbs. Verbs are distinguished as being weak or strong. In the former, the pp. ends in -ed, -d, or -// in the latter, in -en, or -e. A simple rule is this. In weak verbs, the pt. t. ends in -ede (rarely -ed), -de, -te, -e,. so that the final -e is here extremely common, but it does not appear in the pp. ; conversely, in strong verbs, it is the pp. that ends in -en or - ye tvoot); pt. t. 7t»/.f/^, knew ; pp. wist. Wil, wol, wole, will; pi. wolen, wilen ; pt. t. wolde. Thar, needs; pt. t. thurte. Negatives. Nan, for ne am, am not; nis, for ne is, is not; nas, was not; nere, were not ; nadde, had not ; nil, will not ; nolde, would not ; noot, I know not, he knows not; niste, knew not; ne . . . ne, neither . . . nor, 603. Double negatives^ 70, 71, &c. Adverbs. End in -e, as dep-e, deeply ; or -ly, as subtil-ly ; or -e-ly, as trew-e-ly, truly ; or -^«, -^(?/-, where, 547; ther as, where that, 34. Prepositions. End in -en, -e, -es ; Sec. Til, for to, before a vowel. With adjoins its verb ; 791. METRE. Chaucer was our first great metrist, and enriched our literature with several forms of metre which had not been previously employed in English, These he borrowed chiefly from Guillaume de Machault, who made use of stanzas of seven, eight, and nine lines, and even wrote at least one Compleint in the 'heroic' couplet. The metre of four accents, in rimed couplets, had been in use in English long before Chaucer's time ; and he adopted it in translating Le Roman de la Rose (the original being in the same metre), in the Book of the Duchesse, and in the House of Fame. The ballad-metre, as employed in the Tale of Sir Thopas, is also older than his time. In fact, this Tale is a burlesque imitation of some of the old Romances. The four-line stanza, in the Proverbes, was likewise nothing new. But he employed the following metres, in English, for the first time. 1, The 8-line stanza, with the rimes arranged in the order ababbcbc ; i. e. with the first line (a) riming with the third (a), and so on. Exx, A.B.C. ; The Monkes Tale; The Former Age ; Lenvoy to Bukton. xb. The same, thrice repeated, with a refrain. Ex. (part of) Fortune; Compleint to Venus ; Balade to Rosemounde, 2, The 7-line stanza, with the rimes ababbcc ; a favourite metre. Exx. Lyf of Seint Cecyle ; Clerkes Tale ; Palamon and Arcite ; (part of) Compleint to his Lady ; An Amorous Compleint ; Compleint to Pit^ ; (part of) Anelida ; The Wretched Engendring of Mankind ; The Man of LavvesTale ; (part of) The Compleint of Mars ; Troilus and Criseyde ; Wordes to Adam ; (part of) The Parlement of Foules ; (parts of) The Canterbury Tales ; Lenvoy to Scogan. 2 b. The same 7-line stanza, thrice repeated, with a refrain. Exx. Against Women b2 XX ]xntrotiurti0n. Unconstaunt; Compleint to his Purse; Lak of Stedfastnesse ; Gentilesse; Truth. Also in the Legend of Good Women, 249-269. 2 c. The 7-line stanza, with the rimes ababbab. Ex. (part of) Fortune. 3. Terza Rima. Only a few lines ; in the Compleint to his Lady. 4. The lo-line stanza, aabaabcddc. In the Compleint to his Lady. 5. The 9-line stanza, aabaabbab. Only in Anelida. 5 b. The same, with internal rimes. Only in Anelida. 5 c. The same as 5, but thrice repeated. Only in Womanly Noblesse. 6. Two stanzas of 16 lines each; with the rimes aaabaaab • bbbabbba. Only in Anelida. 7. The 9-line stanza, aabaabbcc. Only in the latter part of the Compleint of Mars. 8. The roundel. In the Parlement of Foules ; and Merciless Beautd. 9. The heroic couplet. In the Legend of Good Women and parts of the Canter- bury Tales. 10. A 6-line stanza, repeated six times ; with the rimes ababcb. Only in the Envoy to the Clerkes Tale. 11. A lo-line stanza, aabaahbaab. Only in the Envoy to the Compleint of Venus, 12. A 6-hne stanza, ababaa. Only in the Envoy to Womanly Noblesse. 13. A 5-line stanza, aabba. Only in the Envoy to Compleint to his Purse. The following pieces are in prose. The Tale of Melibeus. The Persones Tale. The translation of Boethius, De Consolatione Philosophiae. The Treatise on the Astrolabe. VERSIFICATION. Some lines drop the first syllable, and the first foot contains one syllable only; as : Ging | len in, &c. 170. Many rimes are double, as cloistre, oistre, i8i ; Rom-e, to me, 671 ; non-es, noon is, 523. Always sound final -e at the end of a line. Rimes may be treble, as apothec-dr-i-es, letu-dr-i-es, 425 ; so at 11. 207, 513, 709. Compare the Grammatical Hints. Caesura. The caesura, or middle pause, allows extra syllables to be preserved, Tiius, at 1. 293, we have : — For him was lever — hav' at his beddes h6ed. The pause gives time for the -er, of lev-er. Similarly, we may preserve the -er of dellv-er, 84; -e in mor-e, 98 ; -e in curteisy-e, 132; -ie { = y) in car-ie, 130. Compare also : — With-6ut-e bak-e met-e — was nev'r his hous ; 343. Th4t I no drop-e — ne fill' upon hir brest ; 131. The syllables -er, -en, -el, -ed, before a vowel, or h (in he, &c.), are light, and do not always count in scansion ; see 11. 84, 291, 296, 334, &c. Cf. ma \ ny a breem \ ; 350, Read the lines deliberately, and remember the old pronunciation. Accent. Variable, in some words ; cf. miller, 545, with the archaic trisyllabic mil-ler-e, 541. Also, in French words, we have honour, 582 ; but the archaic honour, 46. Cf. licour, 3 ; vertu, 4. PRONUNCIATION. The M.E. pronunciation was widely different from the present, especially in the vowel-sounds. The sounds of the vowels were nearly as in French and Italian. ^r0nimriation. xxi They can be denoted by phonetic invariable symbols, enclosed within marks of parenthesis. Convenient phonetic symbols are these following. Vowels, (aa), as a in father; (a) short, as a in aha! (ae), open long e, as a in Mary; (e), open short e, as e in b^d ; (ee), close long e, as e in v^il ; (i) short, as F. i in Imi, or (nearly) as E. i in /n ; (ii), as ee in d.?/f^r. Ex. ^/i/>/^ (thingg). o short, (o), as in of (ov). But as (pu) before ^/^. And note particularly, that it is always (u), i.e. as «in iuW, wherever it has a sound like u in mod. E., as in company, son, monk, cousin, &c. Ex. sonne (sun-na), monk (mungk), vioche (muchs). O long and open, (ao). Sometimes denoted by 'p' or 'pp.' Ex. go (gao) ; stoon (staon). O long and close, (oo). Ex. sote (soo'ta) ; hood (hood). oi, oy (oi). ou, 0"W (uu) ; as mfiour (fluur) ; now (nuu). Rarely (pu), as in soule (souls). Og-h (puh), with open r.
