1 O ye louers that hygh vpon the whele
2 ben sette of fortune in good aventure
3 god grawnte that ye fynden aye loue of stele

5 but whan ye comen by my sepulture
6 remembre that yowr felowe resteth there
7 for I louyd eke thowgh I vnworthy were
由 TH2 输入，这是 乔叟 的 《特洛伊罗斯与克丽西德》 第四卷 323-39 的摘录。 TH2 可能从辛的乔叟版本（约 1532 年）中抄录了这些诗行。在这段话中，特洛伊罗斯刚得知克丽西德被逐出特洛伊，并哀叹命运的反复无常。特洛伊罗斯要求幸运的情人们路过他的墓地时想起他——他们不幸的同类。德文郡手稿中包含了《特洛伊罗斯与克丽西德》的其他诗节（见：“And now my pen alas wyth wyche I wryte” (29v(1))；“O very lord / o loue / o god alas” (29v(2))；“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 that for to love ys vyce” (92r)；以及“but now helpe god to quenche all thys sorow” (93r)。手稿中的其他中世纪和乔叟选段，可能从辛的版本中抄录，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))；理查德·罗斯的 《无情美人》，“O marble herte and yet more harde perde” (90r(1)) 和 “Alas what shuld yt be to yow preiudyce” (90r(2))；辛的版本首次印刷的乔叟式“爱之良药”“yff all the erthe were parchment scrybable” (90r)；以及乔叟的 《阿内丽达与阿西提斯》，“for thowgh I had yow to morow agayne” (91r)。
