A.   簡介 Introduction (within 100 words, Chinese or English)

中古及文藝復興時期的敘事文類中，除知名的亞瑟王傳奇、Arcadia，Sir Degrevant和威廉·俄納(William Warner 1558? – 9 March 1609) 所著Pan his Syrinx, or Pipe, Compact of Seven Reedes 近年也受到不少研究者的注意。前者敘述Degrevant參加十字軍，因土地遭隔鄰為伯爵侵擾，匆匆還鄉，但卻愛上伯爵的女兒，步入婚姻殿堂。愛妻過世後再度參加十字軍，最後戰死沙場。俄納是英國文藝復興時代的詩人，該作品已收錄在英國早期文獻資料庫。這部類似Arcadia的傳奇文類，以敘述方式書寫的作品，書中藉由連串的故事烘托王權、社會和倫理相關的主題。威廉·俄納的故事則源於希臘神話，以七個故事討論道德與倫理議題。

                        ILord Gode in Trynité,
Geff home Hevene for to se
That lovethe gamen and gle
   And gestys to fede.1
Ther folke sitis in fere
Shullde men herken and here
Off gode that before hem were
   That levede on arthede.
And y schall karppe of a knyght
That was both hardy and wyght;
Sir Degrevaunt that hend hyght,
   That dowghty was of dede.
Was never knyght that he fond,
In Fraunce ne in Englond,
Myght sette a schafft of hys hond
   On a stythe stede.2

With Kyng Arrtor, y wene,
And wyth Gwennor the quene,
He was known for kene,
   That comelych knyght,
In hethenesse and in Spayne,
In Fraunce and in Bryttayne,
Wyth Persevall and Gawayne,
   For herdy and wyght.
He was dowghty and der,
And ther nevew full ner,
Ther he of dedys myght yher
In hethenesse and in Spayne,
In Fraunce and in Bryttayne,
Wyth Persevall and Gawayne,
   For herdy and wyght.
He was dowghty and der,
And ther nevew full ner,
Ther he of dedys myght yher
   By days or by nyght.
Forthy they name hem that stounde
A knyght of Tabull Round,
As maked is in the mappemond
   In storye full ryght.

He was fayre man and free
And gretlech gaff hym to gle,
To harp and to sautré
   And geterne full gay;
Well to play on a rote,
Of lewtyng, well y wote,
And syngyng many seyt not
   He bare the pryes aey.
Yet gamenes hade he mare:
Grehondes for hert and hare,
Both for bokes and the bare,
   Be nyght and be day.
Fell faukons and fayr,
Haukes of nobull eyre,
Tyll his parke ganne repeyr,
   By sexxty, y dar say.

He wold be upp or the day
To honte and to revay.
Gretly gaff hem to pley,
   Eche day to newe.
To here hys Mas or he went
Trewly in gode entaunt,
And seththe to bowe into the bente
   There games ine grewe.
   By days or by nyght.
