Is this true, my mother, that I have heard?

Is it true that I was sold to old Jauioz?

“My poor little darling, I know nothing about it;

ask your father.”

“My nice good father, tell me now—is it true

that I am sold to Loys de Jauioz?”

“My beloved child, I know nothing about it;

ask your brother.”

Lannik, my brother, tell me now—is it true

that I am sold to that lord there?
