The various pic^ turesque occurrences, the romantick vein, throughout the poem, are surely in no respect unworthy the pen of Chaucer. Let us review the lively circumstances which distinguish it. They are these. The gentlewoman's departure from her house, on a May morning, to hear the nightingale ; her en- trance into a pleasant and almost pathless grove ; her arrival at a very curious arbour, where, during her repose in it, the songs of the goldfinch and the nightingale successively enter- tain... her, and delicious odours regale her ; the sweet inter- ruption of female voices, followed by the appearance of the Ladies of the Leaf advancing from the neighbouring grove; the profusion of their decorations; their singing and dancing; the approach of the Knights of the Leaf from the same grove ; their pompous procession; their justs; and the united ado- ration, in song and dance, of Ladies and Knights to a lau- rel-tree, the shade of which would cover an hundred persons ; and in which the nightingale sings the whole service belong- ing to May, To these attractive pageantries succeed the in- troduction of the Knights and Ladies of the Flower ; their advancing hand in hand on the wide field, proceeded by nu- merous Minstrels, towards a tuft of flowers ; their reverence at the spot, exhibited in one of the Ladies singing an ode FROM THE POETRY OF CHAUCER.
