Excerpt from Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Vol. 4: With Poems Formerly Printed With His or Attributed to Him; Edited, With a Memoir Collecting his barons for the purpose of assaulting the castle, the god discovers amongst them two strangers, false-semblant and constrained-abstinence, who are at first afraid to present themselves, but are at last admitted as liege-men at the re quest of the others, the God of Love desiring false-semblant to narrate his history. From his account of himself, it ap pears that he generally assumes the habit of a triar, and in the description he gives of the subtle arts by which he thrives, the vices usually ascribed to the Mendicants are delineated with great humour and liveliness. This episode being concluded, the God leads his barons to the assault. False-semblant and constrained-abstinence pro ceed to the outer gate, where they encounter male-bouche, whom they persuade, by means of a hypocritical sermon, to kneel down and make his confession. While he is on his knees, constrained-abstinence seizes him by the throat, and forces him to put out his tongue, which false-semblant immediately cuts off with a razor forged on the anvil of coupe-gorge. Thus securing the gate, they enter the castle, and slay the Norman soldiers, who are all lying drunk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
