“For if a priest be foul, on whom we trust, No wonder is a common man should rust" -The Prologue of Chaucers Canterbury Tales-”

“. . . if gold rust, what then will iron do?/ For if a priest be foul in whom we trust/ No wonder that a common man should rust. . . .”

“If gold rusts, what then can iron do?”

“If no love is, O God, what fele I so? And if love is, what thing and which is he? If love be good, from whennes cometh my woo? If it be wikke, a wonder thynketh me”

“No empty handed man can lure a bird”

“It is ful fair a man to bere him evene,/For alday meeteth men at unset stevene.”

“And once he had got really drunk on wine,Then he would speak no language but Latin.”
