WOW, Steve! The prologue to the Canterbury Tales was a required memory test when I was in high school. We also had to do it our version of Old English. I still remember all but the last two lines you quoted. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. My English teacher that year was dreadful but this assignment was a favorite of everyone’s. I think. I know I had fun!
Happy Easter Cint and all.
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye,
