Whan tyme cam, this olde sowdanesse Ordeyned hath this feste of which I tolde, And to the feste cristen folk hem dresse In general, ye! bothe yonge and olde.
The MILLER was a stout carl, for the nones, Ful big he was of braun, and eek of bones; That proved wel, for over-al ther he cam, At wrastling he wolde have alwey the ram.
A SHIPMAN was ther, woning fer by weste: For aught I woot, he was of Dertemouthe. He rood up-on a rouncy, as he couthe, In a gowne of falding to the knee. A daggere hanging on a laas hadde he Aboute his nekke under his arm adoun. The hote somer had maad his hewe al broun; And, certeinly, he was a good felawe.
A good WYF was ther of bisyde BATHE, But she was som-del deef, and that was scathe. Of clooth-making she hadde swiche an haunt, She passed hem of Ypres and of Gaunt. In al the parisshe wyf ne was ther noon That to the offring bifore hir sholde goon; And if ther dide, certeyn, so wrooth was she, That she was out of alle charitee.
Whylom, as olde stories tellen us, Ther was a duk that highte Theseus; Of Athenes he was lord and governour, And in his tyme swich a conquerour, That gretter was ther noon under the sonne.
They liveden to-gidere whyl that Crist wolde, And sithen was Gamelyn graven under molde. And so schal we alle may ther no man flee: God bringe us to the Ioye that ever schal be!
Whylom, as olde stories tellen us, Ther was a duk that highte Theseus; Of Athenes he was lord and governour, And in his tyme swich a conquerour, That gretter was ther noon under the sonne.
I nil envye no virginitee; Lat hem be breed of pured whete-seed, And lat us wyves hoten barly-breed; And yet with barly-breed, Mark telle can, Our lord Iesu refresshed many a man. In swich estaat as god hath cleped us I wol persevere, I nam nat precious. In wyfhode I wol use myn instrument As frely as my maker hath it sent.
O clere, o welful auter, holy croys, Reed of the lambes blood full of pitee, That wesh the world fro the olde iniquitee, Me fro the feend, and fro his clawes kepe, That day that I shal drenchen in the depe.
A SHIPMAN was ther, woning fer by weste: For aught I woot, he was of Dertemouthe. He rood up-on a rouncy, as he couthe, In a gowne of falding to the knee.
The MILLER was a stout carl, for the nones, Ful big he was of braun, and eek of bones; That proved wel, for over-al ther he cam, At wrastling he wolde have alwey the ram. He was short-sholdred, brood, a thikke knarre, Ther nas no dore that he nolde heve of harre, Or breke it, at a renning, with his heed.

_Iamque domos patrias, Scithice post aspera gentis / Prelia, laurigero, &c._
[Statius, _Theb._ xii. 519.]
Whylom, as olde stories tellen us, Ther was a duk that highte Theseus; Of Athenes he was lord and governour, And in his tyme swich a conquerour, That gretter was ther noon under the sonne. Ful many a riche contree hadde he wonne; What with his wisdom and his chivalrye, He conquered al the regne of Femenye, That whylom was y-cleped Scithia; And weddede the quene Ipolita, And broghte hir hoom with him in his contree With muchel glorie and greet solempnitee, And eek hir yonge suster Emelye.
'Let every felawe telle his tale aboute, And lat see now who shal the soper winne.'
Ther was also a Reve and a Millere, A Somnour and a Pardoner also, A Maunciple, and my-self; ther were namo.
In al the parisshe wyf ne was ther noon That to the offring bifore hir sholde goon; And if ther dide, certeyn, so wrooth was she, That she was out of alle charitee.
They liveden to-gidere whyl that Crist wolde, And sithen was Gamelyn graven under molde. And so schal we alle may ther no man flee: God bringe us to the Ioye that ever schal be!
Gamelyn took him in his arm and no more spak, But threw him over the barre and his arm to-brak. Durste non to Gamelyn seye but good, For ferd of the company that withoute stood. Gamelyn sette him doun in the Iustices seet, And sire Ote his brother by him and Adam at his feet. Whan Gamelyn was y-set in the Iustices stede, Herkneth of a bourde that Gamelyn dede.
