Here endeth the first series of these Tales, a roguish sample of the works of that merry Muse, born ages ago, in our fair land of Touraine, the which Muse is a good wench, and knows by heart that fine saying of her friend Verville, written in LE MOYEN DE PARVENIR: It is only necessary to be bold to obtain favours.

Now dry thy fair naked feet, stop thine ears, and return to love.
