This Knight being often a∣mong the Knights of the Dutch Order, called Ordo Teutonicus, in Prussia, was for his Worthiness placed by them at the Table, before any of what Nation soever. If any desire to know the Profession of these Knights called Teutonici, it was thus: They having their dwelling at Ierusalem, were bound to entertain Pilgrims, and at Occasions to serve in War against the Saracens. They were apparelled in white, and upon their uppermost Gar∣ment did wear a black Cross. And for that this Order was first begun by a certain rich Almaigne, none were recei∣ved into the same, save on∣ly Gentlemen of the Dutch Nation. After Ierusalem was last taken by the Saracens, Anno 1184. these Knights re∣tired to Tolemaida; and that being taken, into Germany, their own Country. And when as there also the Peo∣ple of Prussia used Incursions upon their Confines, they went unto Frederick the Se∣cond, then Emperour, An∣no 1220. who granted them leave to make Wars upon them, and to turn the spoil to the maintenance of their Order. After this Conquest of Prussia, these Knights grew rich, and builded there ma∣ny Temples and Places of Residence for Bishops, who also were enjoyned to wear the Habite of the Order. Chaucer will have his Knight of such Fame, that he was both known and honoured of this Order.

He did write in Verse to the foresaid William, a Book, under the Title of Brunellus, called Spe∣culum stultorum; And this is it which Chaucer calleth here, Burnell the Ass. He lived, Anno 1200. in the Days of King Iohn.

Theorem. 33. propos. 47. which was found out by Pythagoras after an whole years study, and much beating of his Brain: In thankfulness whereof, he sa∣crificed an Ox to the Gods; which Sacrifice he called Dulcarnon. Alexander Nec••am an ancient Writer, in his Book De Naturis Rerum, com∣poundeth this word of Du∣lia, and Caro, and will have Dulcarnon to be quasi sacrifici∣um Carnis. Chaucer aptly ap∣plyeth it to Creseide in this place; shewing that she was as much amazed how to an∣swer Troilus, as Pythagoras was wearied to bring his de∣sire to effect.

• * Eros, g. Whereas some Co∣pies have Heroes, some Her∣nes, and some such like coun∣terfeit word, whereof can be given no reason; I have set down Eros, i. Cupid: as most agreeing in my Opinion with the matter; which I gather thus: Lucian, in his second Dialogue bringeth in Cupid teaching Iupiter how to be∣come amiable, and in him, how lovers may be made accepta∣ble to their ladies; not by weep∣ing, watching, and fasting, nor by furious melancholick fits, but by comly behaviour. The words in the Greek, are thus much in Latin: Si voles ama∣bilis esse n••{que} concutias AEgida,

• neque fulmen geras: sed suavissi∣mum teipsum exhibe: & vestem sume purpuream, crepidas subli∣ga aur at as: adtibiam & ad Tim∣pana composito gressu incetle, & videbis quod plures te sequentur, quam Bacchum Maenades. So that the lovers of Eros, that is, Cupids Servants, do carry themselves comely in all their Passions, and their Maladies are such as shew no open di∣stemperature of body or mind: which mediocrity this Arcite was far from keeping. And whereas some will have us read Heroes, i. Noble-men; I cannot dislike their Opinion, for it may fitly stand with the sense of the place.
