Additional quotes by Geoffrey Chaucer

By God, if women had written stories,
As clerks had within here oratories,
They would have written of men more wickedness
Than all the mark of Adam may redress.

For naturally a beast desires to flee From any enemy that he may see, Though never yet he's clapped on such his eye.

Hard is his herte that loveth nought
In May.
