franklin's tale
TRANSCRIPT
Arveragus, a noble knight,
desires a wife, and finds
a woman named Dorigen
who is a beautiful
young maiden.
When they get married,
they vow that they will
be honest to each other
and will always be
respectful of one
another.
However, soon Arveragus
gets called to battle
in England to fulfill
his knightly duties.
He leaves his wife
lonely and grieving.
His brother remembers
encountering a
student-magician who could
read a book of magic
that is invisible.
Aurelius returns to Dorigen
to tell her that all of the rocks
have been cleared.
She immediately
falls into despair,
as she thought it
was something he
could never do.
However, after seeing that Dorigen is faithfully married to her husband, and seeing how noble Averagus is, he cannot force himself to be with Dorigen, and allows the couple to be together.
