1 O ye louers that hygh vpon the whele
2 ben sette of fortune in good aventure
3 god grawnte that ye fynden aye loue of stele

6 remembre that yowr felowe resteth there
7 for I louyd eke thowgh I vnworthy were
由 TH2 輸入，這是 喬叟 的 《特洛伊羅斯與克麗西德》 第四卷 323-39 的摘錄。 TH2 可能從辛的喬叟版本（約 1532 年）中抄錄了這些詩行。在這段話中，特洛伊羅斯剛得知克麗西德被逐出特洛伊，並哀嘆命運的反覆無常。特洛伊羅斯要求幸運的情人們路過他的墓地時想起他——他們不幸的同類。德文郡手稿中包含了《特洛伊羅斯與克麗西德》的其他詩節（見：“And now my pen alas wyth wyche I wryte” (29v(1))；“O very lord / o loue / o god alas” (29v(2))；“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 that for to love ys vyce” (92r)；以及“but now helpe god to quenche all thys sorow” (93r)。手稿中的其他中世紀和喬叟選段，可能從辛的版本中抄錄，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))；理查德·羅斯的 《無情美人》，“O marble herte and yet more harde perde” (90r(1)) 和 “Alas what shuld yt be to yow preiudyce” (90r(2))；辛的版本首次印刷的喬叟式“愛之良藥”“yff all the erthe were parchment scrybable” (90r)；以及喬叟的 《阿內麗達與阿西提斯》，“for thowgh I had yow to morow agayne” (91r)。
