Excerpt from Voyage of Ass: A Tale of Love and Adventure in Old London, the Stanza Being That of the Cherrie and the Slae
Ass laughed, I have watched thee before, That art more lovely than thy store, But never in such rays. Though starven to the pit in thee, My everlasting heart goes free As are thy Virelays. For who would lose a finer thing Than king or pope bestows, By fear of man's outrageous sting The thorn still guards the rose. 0 city sans pity, I love thee 'yond my peers Stern physic sends music Into an ass's ears.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Ass, a young man who leaves his home in search of adventure and fortune. The author's writing style is reminiscent of Chaucer's work, employing a blend of Middle English and early modern language to create a distinct voice that reflects the period setting. Through Ass's journey, the author explores themes of self-discovery, the power of fate, and the allure of the unknown. The narrative weaves together elements of folklore and medieval life, including encounters with fairies, a talking animal, and the machinations of a corrupt city. Ass's experiences challenge societal norms, as he embraces his unique identity and confronts the hypocrisy of those who seek to confine him. Ultimately, this book offers a vibrant and insightful commentary on the human condition, highlighting the complexities of love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness in a world brimming with both beauty and danger.
