The Yeoman
is in a coat and hood of green. He has a sheaf of peacock arrows in his belt; across his shoulder is a green baldrick to carry a horn. There is a figure of St. Christopher in silver hanging on his breast.
The Prioress
is in a handsome cloak; she wears coral beads gauded with green, and a brooch of gold—
‘On which was first write a-crowned A,
And after, “Amor vincit omnia.”’
The Monk
wears his gown, but has his sleeves trimmed with gray squirrel. To fasten his hood he has a curious gold pin, wrought at the greater end with a love-knot.
The Friar
has his cape stuck full of knives and pins ‘for to yeven faire wyves.’
