Translated in June 1887 by Andrew Lang, printed November 1887. From the introduction of the famous medieval French chantefable: "There is nothing in artistic poetry quite akin to "Aucassin and Nicolete." By a rare piece of good fortune the one manuscript of the Song-Story has escaped those waves of time, which have wrecked the bark of Menander, and left of Sappho but a few floating fragments."
