To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To do this and also to imitate the rhyme would have been impossible for me, and I have accordingly avoided rhyme altogether. That beside at least one rather coarse colloquialism I have occasionally used a word or a phrase which is not modern and colloquial may be harder to justify ; but it can be pleaded in excuse that the original is some six centuries old, and that a translator may be al- lowed to let his rendering at least hint at such age now and then. The verses are numbered so as to corre...spond to those of the original. It will be seen that a few lines have been omitted ; some of these can hardly have been in the fabliau as originally composed, and the others are unimportant.^ There was a minstrel once at Sens 5 Who truly was of low estate ; His costume was but seldom whole ; I know not by what name he went ; But oft he lost his all at dice ; He often was without his fiddle, 10 Barelegged and without a coat, So that against the chilly wind He often had nought but a shirt. Do not suppose I'm telling lies.
