I’m sure he is a gentleman. Indeed,
I hope my brother proves as true a knight,
When he arrives.
CHAUCER
Deliver us from temptation!
[A shout from the pilgrims within.]
PRIORESS
Would he were here now.—Nay, I mean—the other.
This April day flowed sweet as a clear brook
Till these hoarse frogs jumped in to rile its silver.
