"And if he foond owher a good felawe, / He wolde techen hym to have noon awe / In swich caas of the ercedekenes curs, / But if a man's purs were in his ers."

"The Wife of Bath... had set widely 'gap-teeth'."

"And thogh a widwe hadde but o sho, So plesaunt was hire song, she wolde have two."

"She hadde passed many a straunge strem; / Hire hosen weren of fyn scarlet reed, / Ful streite yteyd, and shoes ful moyste and newe."

"He coude songes make and wel endite, Juste and eek daunce, and wel purtreye and write."
