When Geoffrey denies any desire for “fame,” he may mean either that he is content to live a private, unnoticed life or that he does not look for glory as a poet. The latter meaning is suggested by his enigmatic reference to “myn art,” and Alexander Pope took it so in The Temple of Fame, his version of Chaucer’s Book III.
