由 TH2 誊抄，此条目摘录自理查德·罗斯改编的 La Belle Dame Sans Merci （第 717-24 行），作者为 阿兰·沙蒂埃。本段中的说话者指责这位女士冷酷无情，并以他的痛苦为乐。 TH2 在本节之后又摘录了同一首诗中的另一部分（"Alas what shuld yt be to yow preiudyce" (90r(3))； TH2 很可能从辛恩的乔叟版（约 1532 年）中抄录了这两段文字。
手稿中其他中世纪和乔叟的摘录，可能也来自辛恩的版本，包括霍克利夫的选段（"Womans harte vnto no creweltye" 89v(1) 和 "ys thys afayre avaunte / ys thys honor" (89v(2))），来自特洛伊罗斯与克瑞西达的诗句（参见："And now my pen alas wyth wyche I wryte" (29v(1)), "O very lord / o loue / o god alas" (29v(1)), "O ye louers that hygh vpon the whele" (30r), "for thylke grownde that bearyth the wedes wycke" (59v), "yff yt be so that ye so creuel be" (91r(2)), "Wo worthe the fayre gemme vertulesse" (91v(1)), "for loue ys yet the moste stormy lyfe" (91v(2)), "Also wyckyd tonges byn so prest" (91v(3)), "And who that sayth for to love ys vyce" (92r)，以及 "but now helpe god to quenche all thys sorow" (93r))；辛恩版本中首次印刷的乔叟的“爱的良方”（"yff all the erthe were parchment scrybable" (90r))，以及乔叟的 阿奈丽达与阿西提 ("for thowgh I had yow to morow to agayne" (91r))。
