Additional quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer

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

He hath considered shortly, in a clause
The trespas of hem bothe, and eek the cause,
And althogh that his ire hir gilt accused,
Yet in his resoun he hem bothe excused,
As thus: he thoghte wel that every man
Wol helpe himself in love if that he kan,
And eek delivere himself out of prisoun;

nadie debe echar sobre sus espaldas fardo que no pueda llevar.
