The Student's Tale
Whanne that the lange derke nihtes of Decembre
Supplaunted hath the reynes of Nouembre
Than the clerkes beginnen to lamente
Of houres in studiye they han spent
Quoth one, “Alas, and weylawey!”
“Must we reden thise textes today?”
“Feare nat,” quoth the maister, “thou mayst rede thy Chaucer
Whilst sippynge te fro thy coppe and saucere
So, now, thou mayst ben in a state of blisse
Whanne reding al thise aunciente miths.”
