Additional quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer

If you are poor your very brother hates you And all your friends avoid you, sad to say.

Ye knowe eek, that in forme of speche is chaunge
With-inne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho
That hadden prys, now wonder nyce and straunge
Us thinketh hem; and yet they spake hem so,
And spedde as wel in love as men now do.

That wel by reson men hit calle may The 'dayesye' or elles the 'ye of day,' The emperice and flour of floures alle.

Of all the floures in the mede, Than love I most these floures whyte and rede, Swiche that men callen daysies in our toun. - Geoffrey Chaucer
