l'envoy of chaucer to bukton - ghizela rowe - chaucer كلمات أغنية

my master bukton, when of christ our king
was asked, what is truth or soothfastness?
he not a word answer’d to that asking
as who saith, no man is all true, i guess;
and therefore, though i highte to express
the sorrow and woe that is in marriage
i dare not write of it no wickedness
lest i myself fall eft in such dotage

i will not say how that it is the chain
of satanas, on which he gnaweth ever;
but i dare say, were he out of his pain
as by his will he would be bounden never
but thilke doated fool that eft had lеver
y_chained be, than out of prison creep
god lеt him never from his woe dissever
nor no man him bewaile though he weep!

but yet, lest thou do worse, take a wife;
bet is to wed than burn in worse wise;
but thou shalt have sorrow on thy flesh thy life
and be thy wife’s thrall, as say these wise
and if that holy writ may not suffice
experience shall thee teache, so may hap
that thee were lever to be taken in frise
than eft to fall of wedding in the trap
this little writ, proverbes, or figure
i sende you; take keep of it, i read!
“unwise is he that can no weal endure;
if thou be sicker, put thee not in dread.”
the wife of bath i pray you that you read
of this mattere which that we have on hand
god grante you your life freely to lead
in freedom, for full hard is to be bond
