Stanza 19

Boccaccio:

(no analogue)


Petrarch:

Ita e colloquio discessum est,

So they withdrew from conference;


Chaucer:

He graunted hem a day, swich as hym leste,
On which he wolde be wedded sikerly,
And seyde he dide al this at hir requeste;
And they with humble entente, buxomly,
Knelynge upon hir knees ful reverently
Hym thonken alle, and thus they han an ende
Of hir entente, and hoom agayn they wende.
