Notes To a Goodly Ballad Of Chaucer

1. This elegant little poem is believed to have been addressed to

Margaret, Countess of Pembroke, in whose name Chaucer

found one of those opportunities of praising the daisy he never

lost. (Transcriber’s note: Modern scholars believe that Chaucer

was not the author of this poem)

2. Mieux un in heart which never shall apall: better one who in

heart shall never pall — whose love will never weary.
