由 TH2 謄抄，此條目摘錄自理查德·羅斯改編的 La Belle Dame Sans Merci （第 717-24 行），作者為 阿蘭·沙蒂埃。本段中的說話者指責這位女士冷酷無情，並以他的痛苦為樂。 TH2 在本節之後又摘錄了同一首詩中的另一部分（"Alas what shuld yt be to yow preiudyce" (90r(3))； TH2 很可能從辛恩的喬叟版（約 1532 年）中抄錄了這兩段文字。
手稿中其他中世紀和喬叟的摘錄，可能也來自辛恩的版本，包括霍克利夫的選段（"Womans harte vnto no creweltye" 89v(1) 和 "ys thys afayre avaunte / ys thys honor" (89v(2))），來自特洛伊羅斯與克瑞西達的詩句（參見："And now my pen alas wyth wyche I wryte" (29v(1)), "O very lord / o loue / o god alas" (29v(1)), "O ye louers that hygh vpon the whele" (30r), "for thylke grownde that bearyth the wedes wycke" (59v), "yff yt be so that ye so creuel be" (91r(2)), "Wo worthe the fayre gemme vertulesse" (91v(1)), "for loue ys yet the moste stormy lyfe" (91v(2)), "Also wyckyd tonges byn so prest" (91v(3)), "And who that sayth for to love ys vyce" (92r)，以及 "but now helpe god to quenche all thys sorow" (93r))；辛恩版本中首次印刷的喬叟的“愛的良方”（"yff all the erthe were parchment scrybable" (90r))，以及喬叟的 阿奈麗達與阿西提 ("for thowgh I had yow to morow to agayne" (91r))。
