15. “Si douce est la margarete.”: “So sweet is the
daisy” (“la marguerite”).
16. To make their joustes: the meaning is not very
obvious; but in The Knight’s Tale “jousts and array”
are in some editions made part of the adornment of
the Temple of Venus; and as the word “jousts” would
there carry the general meaning of “preparations” to
entertain or please a lover, in the present case it may
have a similar force.
