J Epilogue according to ms. J que la dompna·us^?dompna·us ] dompna vos J ai gaszanhada.⁽⁶⁾I decided to emend here by using the tense form, so I could avoid a hypermetrical vers. Anas ades esta vegada parlar a lieis en sel vergier tot mantenen, ses destorbier». Lo cavalier s'en es anatz dins el vergier et es intratz et es se trobatz ab la dona; e quan lo vi, et ella·l sona et asetet lo josta lei: «Senher, be·m platz cant hieu vos vei vengut aissi en est vergier. Gran tems ha non vi cavalier: tan mi plagues, si Dieus mi sal, per vostre papagai vos val car hieu vos vei tan plazentier.

J e leial⁽⁷⁾The verse needs to be emended, as it appears of 6 syllables. I suggested to emend by introducing the word "aman", which seems to fit the context properly and allows to recover the original octosyllabe. e que me ames de bon cor».⁽⁸⁾It is necessary to consider "me" and "ames" in dialefe (3 syllables in total). «Dona, ben vos^?ben vos ] beus J dic, s'ieu non mor, ⁽⁹⁾We need here to emend be·us (monosyllabic) in order to get an octosyllabe by writing it extended: ben vos. qu'ieu vos amarai leialmen, que ja no·us farai failhimen. E si voles nuilh covinen qu'ieu vos fassa ni sagramen, hieu lo·us farai mot volontiers: que anc non fo nuilhs cavaliers que tal sagramen fezes mai com hieu farai si a vos plai». «Senher, no·us ho tengatz a mal, que motz homes son cui non cal mas que penson de galïar perqu'ieu me^?perqu'ieu me ] perqu'ie·m J volria gardar.⁽¹⁰⁾We need to extend the tense form in order to get the extra syllable which is clearly missing here ("perqu'ie·m"="perqu'ieu me"). "Volria" has 3 syllables. Mas hieu tot o non^?tot o non ] non o J; dic per vos, que es^?es ] vos es J cortes, savis e pros⁽¹²⁾I propose to eliminate "vos" from the sentence (which would become hypermetric), as it probably comes as a repetition of the "vos" that stands in conclusion of the previous verse.. Et en vos mi voilh hieu fizar per vostras volontatz a far: et aissi·m met ses tot jurar». Ab tan^?tan ] aitan J si prendon a baiszar⁽¹³⁾We prefer here to use "ab tan" instead of "ab aitan" for metrical reasons, in order to have an octosyllabe. e feiron lor solatz^?lor solatz ] de lor solatz J aitan⁽¹⁴⁾It is here necessary to emend in order to get the octosyllabe. I propose to expunge the preposition "de", which doesn't alter the meaning of the expression "faire solatz" ("take pleasure"). ............................⁽¹⁵⁾There's a whole verse missing here, as the previous rhyme is not related. com lur fon bo ni·ls agradec. Ab tan^?Ab tan ] ab aitan J lo papagai parec⁽¹⁶⁾Cfr. the same case three lines above. e dis: «Senher, anas vos en que vengutz es, mon essïen, lo mals^?mals ] om. J maritz d'aquesta dona⁽¹⁷⁾We need here to restore a syllable in order to obtain an octosyllabe féminin verse (8 syllables + 1 mute). I propose to correct with "mals maritz" which is a typical feature of Provençal and French texts belonging to the "castia gilos" genre. qu'ie·l vei qu'a^?qu'a ] que a J la porta sona!». E·l cavalier a pres^?a pres ] pres J comjat⁽¹⁸⁾Here we should emend the passé simple form with a passé composé form, which appears also in the next verse. The correction is not necessary if we consider "comjat" as "comïat" (three syllables). de la dompna; et a·ilh pregat qu'ella li fassa a saber^?fassa a saber ] fassa saber J l'onra que·ilh venra a plazer c'om puesqua tornar a l'amor, que tant li es toquad'al cor; et ella dis: «Ben o farai e breumen vos ho mandarai». «Ma dompna, a Dieu vos coman e prec vos que lo mieu don man: per marit non mi oblides!». Et ella·l dis: «Non farai ges, ans pensarai ades de vos com vos tornes aisai ves nos».

R Epilogue according to ms. R dins el verdier m'aney suau: no volia qu'en mon esclau se pogues metre degus mes:⁽¹⁹⁾Here, just like in the very following verses, the ink has often vanished. Nevertheless it seems to be, at the end of this verse, the reading "degus" (with abbreviation of -us through "9"). If so, a monosyllabic word would be required to keep the eight-syllable verse. I hypotize "mes", which is "messenger", even though though I couldn't read the final part of the verse. may volri'esser soutz que pres! La dona trobey veramen, de vostr'amor li fi prezen e tramet vos aquest anel qu'el mon non cug n'aya plus bel, ab sest cordo ab aur obrat: que·l prendatz per s'amistat. E prendetz lo per sa [...]or, que Dieu vos do be et honor. Mas jes no say per cal razo no·ns^?no·ns ] nos R prenguam sonh ni ochaizo que puscam el verdier intrar. Jes no vos en say cosselhar^?en say cosselhar ] cosselhar. say R⁽²⁰⁾Here the scribe had omitted "say" and he adds it at the end of the line. We also should get an extra syllable in order to have a perfect octosyllabe: that's the reason why I added "en".. Mas ieu metrai foc a la tor e al solier, per vostr'amor: e can lo foc er abrandatz porretz intrar be per^?intrar be per ] intrar per R espatz⁽²¹⁾"Be" is an addition that comes from Bartsch's edition: we accept it in order to preserve eight syllables. ab vostra dona domneyar e lieys tener et abrassar». Antiphanor respon breumen: «Tornatz premier al parlamen a lieys parlar, si a vos platz: doncx sestas razos li mostratz». Ab tan parto s'en abeduy. Mot es lo papagay vas luy fizels amicx e ses enjan.

R sol que·l vostre cavayer vulhatz amar tan lïalmen com el fay vos ses falhimen». «Papagay, si·m acosselh Dieus: se trastot lo mon era mieus, tot lo daria de bon cor per l'amistat d'Antiphanor! Mas aquest verdier es trop claus e las gardas non an repaus: devo velhar tro al mati, car lunha nueg non prendo fi». «Dona, e no·y sabetz cosselh?» «Ieu no». «E no m'en meravelh se vos cosselh non y sabetz. Si fas, dona, ar m'entendetz: ieu tornaray vas mo senhor c'ay laissat cossiros d'amor. Encar'a nueg l'en menaray, al pe del mur l'en aduray: lo ^?lo ] om.

R.⁽²³⁾The emendation is here a mere hypothesis, but it can restore at one time meaning, rhyme (tor/entor) and number of missing syllables in order to reach the right measure. All the passage is problematic: I had to restore an extra syllable in the previous verse, too. E cant lo foc sera enpres ilh y corron tug demanes que·l voldran per fort escantir; e vos no metatz lonc albir, pessatz de luy e faitz l'intrar. Adoncx poiretz ab luy parlar; e s'aquest cosselh vos par bos, ab mal grat quan aia·l gilos, porietz ab luy aver delieg e jazer ab el en un lieg».

R fag n'ay tot l'assemamen,⁽²⁴⁾"Ben" is an addition by Bartsch, which allows to restore the correct measure of the verse. las claus del castel ai pres mi: vec las vos, sus aquest coissi. Anatz metre foc al castel: anc may no cug per lunh auzel fos tan ricx faitz assajatz com aquest er, ni comensatz». El papagay seladamen .............................⁽²⁵⁾There clearly is a missing verse here, as the previous verse has no correspondent rhyme following. de las la tor, prop del terrier.

E la dona venc al portal e a ubert senes^?senes ] ses R comjat⁽²⁶⁾We could even not emend "ses", but on condition we read "comïat", which seems to be possible according to Levy's dictionnaire. de las gachas, e mal lor grat. Antiphanor intr'el vergier: en un lieg, de jotz un laurier, ab sa dona s'anet colcar. E lunhs homs non o sap contar lo gaug que fo entre lor dos, cals plus fo del autre joyos.

Antiphanor ab cor marrit s'es levat e pueys li a^?li a ] la R dit:⁽²⁸⁾The tense form must be changed into "li a" in order to restore the correct measure of the verse. «Dona, que voldretz vos mandar?» «Senher, qe·us vulhatz esforsar de far que pros tan can poiretz en est segle, tan cant vieuretz». Fay se vas el, baiza·l tres vetz: Antiphanor s'en torna leu com filh de rey ab son corrieu^?corrieu ] conrrieu (or corrrieu) R. So dis N'Arnaut de Carcasses que precx a faiz per mantas res e per los maritz castiar que volo lors molhers garar: ...........................⁽²⁹⁾At this point there must have been one missing verse, because of the rhyme "anar" of the following verse. que·ls^?que·ls ] que la R laiso a lor pes anar [...] que may valra,⁽³⁰⁾We've lost the first half of the verse, so there are four missing syllables. e ja degus no·y falhira.
