by Geoffrey Chaucer

That I may han [nat but] my mete and drinke;

And for my sustenance yit wol I [swinke],

Right as yow list, that Minos ne no wight—

Sin that he saw me never with eyen sight—

[Ne no man elles, shal me conne espye];

So slyly and so wel I shal me gye,

(161)

And me so wel disfigure and so lowe,

That in this world ther shal no man me knowe,
