两首担心传抄的小诗，一首责骂马虎的抄写员，一首送别写完的长诗；在乔叟作品里算小品，但“去吧，小书”深受喜爱。
Chaucers Wordes unto Adam, His Owne Scriveyn乔叟致他自己的抄写员亚当#
Adam scriveyn, if ever it thee bifalleBoece or Troilus to wryten newe,Under thy lokkes thou most have the scalle,But after my making thou wryte trewe.So ofte a daye I mot thy werk renewe,Hit to correcte and eek to rubbe and scrape;And al is through thy negligence and rape.
Adam scriveyn, if ever it thee bifalle亚当，抄写员啊，如果哪天又轮到你
Boece or Troilus to wryten newe,把《波伊提乌》或者《特洛伊罗斯》重新誊写，
Under thy lokkes thou most have the scalle,愿你的头发底下长满癞疮，
But after my making thou wryte trewe.除非你照着我的原作抄得更准确。
So ofte a daye I mot thy werk renewe,我一天要把你的活儿返工多少遍，
Hit to correcte and eek to rubbe and scrape;又是改正，又是擦抹刮削；
And al is through thy negligence and rape.这全都怪你的粗心和匆忙。
Troilus and Criseyde, Book V, lines 1786–1799《特洛伊罗斯与克丽西达》第五卷第 1786—1799 行#
Go, litel book, go litel myn tregedie,Ther god thy maker yet, er that he dye,So sende might to make in som comedie!But litel book, no making thou nenvye,But subgit be to alle poesye;And kis the steppes, wher-as thou seest paceVirgile, Ovyde, Omer, Lucan, and Stace.
And for ther is so greet diversiteeIn English and in wryting of our tonge,So preye I god that noon miswryte thee,Ne thee mismetre for defaute of tonge.And red wher-so thou be, or elles songe,That thou be understonde I god beseche!But yet to purpos of my rather speche.—
Go, litel book, go litel myn tregedie,去吧，小书，去吧，我的小悲剧，
Ther god thy maker yet, er that he dye,愿上帝在你的作者死去之前，
So sende might to make in som comedie!还赐给他写一部喜剧的力量！
But litel book, no making thou nenvye,可是小书啊，不要嫉妒别的作品，
But subgit be to alle poesye;要做一切诗歌的仆从；
And kis the steppes, wher-as thou seest pace去亲吻那些台阶，在那里你会看见走过的
Virgile, Ovyde, Omer, Lucan, and Stace.维吉尔、奥维德、荷马、卢坎和斯塔提乌斯。
And for ther is so greet diversitee既然有这样大的分歧
In English and in wryting of our tonge,存在于英语和我们语言的书写之中，
So preye I god that noon miswryte thee,我就祈求上帝，别让人把你抄错，
Ne thee mismetre for defaute of tonge.也别因为口音不对而弄乱你的格律。
And red wher-so thou be, or elles songe,无论你在哪里被诵读，或是被歌唱，
That thou be understonde I god beseche!我都恳求上帝，让你被人读懂！
But yet to purpos of my rather speche.—不过，还是回到我前面要讲的话吧。
Chaucer's Words to Adam, His Own Scribe#
Adam, my scribe, if ever it falls to youto write out Boethius or Troilus anew,may you get the scab under your locksunless you copy truer to what I made.So often in a day I must redo your work,correct it, and rub and scrape it too;and all of it through your carelessness and haste.
Troilus and Criseyde, Book V, lines 1786–1799#
Go, little book, go, my little tragedy,where God may send your maker yet, before he dies,the power to make some comedy!But, little book, envy no other work,and be the servant of all poetry;and kiss the steps wherever you see passVirgil, Ovid, Homer, Lucan and Statius.
And since there is so great a diversityin English and in the writing of our tongue,I pray to God that no one miscopy you,or spoil your metre for want of the right speech.And wherever you are read, or else sung,I beg of God that you be understood!But now, back to what I was saying before.

两首短诗里，乔叟都在担心他的文字离开自己的手之后会遭遇什么。第一首，他责备抄写员亚当抄得马虎，害得他要从羊皮纸上刮掉重改；第二首在《特洛伊罗斯与克丽西达》的结尾，他把这部诗送到世上，祈求在英语如此纷杂的情形下，没有人把它抄错、弄乱它的格律。它们在这个书架上，是一个至今每座档案馆都还面对的问题的早期记录：一篇文字能流传得多好，取决于它被抄得多好。
