"He wolde have the fyn for his concubyn, / A twelf-monthe, and excuse hym atte fulle."

"The wise man, though he be old and hoor, Yet wil he lerne, and evermore."

"And in a word, she was a right good creature."

"For in this world, certeyn, no wight there is / That he ne dooth or seith somtyme amis."

"he pricked her hard and deep, like one gone mad."
