WoB quotes Flashcards
I am expert
in al myn age
I wol bistowe the flour of al myn age
In the actes and in fruit of mariage
in bacon
hadde I nevere delit
I was fourt…
But yet I hadde alwey a coultes tooth
I am al Vererian / In feeling
and myn herte is Marcien
God badde us for to
wexe and multiplie
Abraham was an hooly man, / And Jacob
…And ech of them hadde wives mo than two
I laughe whan I thinke
How pitously a-night I made hem swinke!
Deciete, weping, spinning
God hath yive / To wommen kindley
Stibourn I was
as I a leonesse
The thre were goode men, and riche, and olde/
Unneathe mygthe they the statut holde
They had yven
hir lond and hir tresoor
My fifthe housbonde…
I took for love and no richesse
to him yaf I
al the lond and fee
He nolde suffre
nothing of my list
