200. cloud of errour.--B. iii. met. 11. 7.
391. Ne trust no wight to finden in Fortune Ay propretee; hir yeftes ben comune. B. ii. pr. 2. 7-9; 61-2.
*481-2. (Repeated from Book III. 1625-8. But, this time, it is copied from the _Filostrato_, Bk. iv. st. 56).
503. For sely is that deeth, soth for to seyne, That, oft y-cleped, comth and endeth peyne. B. i. met. 1. 12-14.
*835. And alle worldly blisse, as thinketh me, The ende of blisse ay sorwe it occupyeth. B. ii. pr. 4. 90.
(A very doubtful instance; for l. 836 is precisely the same as Prov. xiv. 13. The word _occupyeth_ is decisive; see my note to Cant. Ta. B 421).
958; 963-6. (Predestination).--B. v. pr. 2. 30-34.
974-1078. (Necessity and Free Will).--B. v. pr. 3. 7-19; 21-71.
*1587. ... thenk that lord is he Of Fortune ay, that nought wol of hir recche; And she ne daunteth no wight but a wrecche. B. ii. pr. 4. 98-101.
(But note that l. 1589 really translates two lines in the _Filostrato_, Bk. iv. st. 154).
278. And Phebus with his rosy carte.--B. ii. met. 3. 1, 2.
763. Felicitee clepe I my suffisaunce.--B. iii. pr. 2. 6-8.
*1541-4. Fortune, whiche that permutacioun Of thinges hath, as it is hir committed Through purveyaunce and disposicioun Of heighe Iove. B. iv. pr. 6. 75-77.
*1809. (The allusion here to the 'seventh spere' has but a remote reference to Boethius (iv. met. 1. 16-19); for this stanza 259 is translated from Boccaccio's _Teseide_, Bk. xi. st. 1).
It thus appears that, for this poem, Chaucer made use of B. i. met. 1, pr. 2, met. 3, pr. 4, met. 5; ii. pr. 1, met. 1, pr. 2, pr. 3, met. 3, pr. 4, pr. 7, met. 8; iii. met. 1, pr. 2, met. 2, pr. 3, met. 11, 12; iv. pr. 6; v. pr. 2, pr. 3.
*535 (Book ii. 27). Foudre. (This allusion to the thunderbolt is copied from Machault, as shewn in my note; but Machault probably took it from Boeth. i. met. 4. 8; and it is curious that Chaucer has _tour_, not _toun_).
730-746 (Book ii. 222-238).--Compare B. iii. pr. 11; esp. 98-111. (Also Le Roman de la Rose, 16957-69; Dante, _Purg._ xviii. 28).
972-8 (Book ii. 464-70).--B. iv. met. 1. 1-5.
1368-1375 (Book iii. 278-285).--Compare B. i. pr. 1. 8-12.
*1545-8 (Book iii. 455-8).--Compare B. i. pr. 5. 43, 44. (The likeness is very slight).
