How Earl Roalt conducted Guyonet to his daughter Felicia and gave him to her for a page, recommending him above all other lords 3. How Guyonet began to love his mistress Felicia, and returned to his chamber after having served her at table, making complaints and lamentations 4. How Guyonet, looking towards the tower where the fair Felicia was, began to weep afresh inasmuch that he fainted and fell upon his bed like one who is dead; and how Herolt Dardenne, his head governor, blamed him for not having been in waiting upon his mistress 5. How Guy was constrained to tell his governor the sorrow which pressed upon his heart 6. How Herolt informed the fair Felicia that Guy was so transported with love of her that he was in danger of death, at which she was much displeased 7.

How Guyonet went to Felicia upon the recital of his governor and discovered his love to her 9.
