As of the truest and the bestë wife That ever yet I knew in all my life. But every wife beware of her behest; On Dorigen remember at the least. Thus can a squiër do a gentle deed, As well as can a knight, withoutë drede.” 3399

She thanked him upon her kneës bare, And home unto her husband is she fare, 3400 And told him all, as ye have heardë said; And, trustë me, he was so well apaid, 3401 That it were impossíble me to write. Why should I longer of this case indite? Arviragus and Dorigen his wife In sov’reign blissë leddë forth their life; Ne’er after was there anger them between; He cherish’d her as though she were a queen, And she was to him true for evermore; Of these two folk ye get of me no more.
