Additional quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer

One flesh they are; and one flesh, so I'd guess,
Has but one heart, come grief or happiness.

Now welcom somer, with thy sonne softe, That hast this wintres weders over-shake, And driven awey the longe nightes blake!

Forth, pilgrim, forth! Forth, beste, out of thy stal! Know thy contree, look up, thank God of al; Hold the hye wey, and lat thy gost thee lede: And trouthe shal delivere, hit is no drede.
