“Ful wel sche sange the service devyne
Entuned in hire nose ful semely.”
| THE PARDONER | THE FRIAR | |
| THE NUN’S PRIEST | THE SECOND NUN |
Of the Mendicant Friar—
“And certainly he had a merry note
Wel couthe he synge and playe on a rote
Somwhat he lipsede for his wantonnesse,
To make his Englische swete upon his Tunge.
