[Footnote C:]

"When Troilus sees the shut windows and desolate aspect of his lady's house, his face grows blanched, and he rides past in haste, so fast, says Wordsworth,

'That no wight his continuance espied.'

But in Chaucer he rides fast that his white face may not be noticed:

'And as God wolde he gan so faste ride
That no wight of his countenance espied.'"

'That no wight his continuance espied.'

'And as God wolde he gan so faste ride
That no wight of his countenance espied.'"
