Woah......So I just got done reading Chaucer's The Miller's Tale, and I'm pretty sure only one person who reads this site knows what I'm talking about right now. But for the rest of you, I recomend this poem (It's a part of The Cantarbury Tales). So anyway, heres a little taste of what you'll find if you read it. Keep in mind this is Middle English, so there are some words you won't know without looking at the footnotes, but I'm sure you'll get the idea...especially if you read it outloud.
"This Absolon gan wipe his mouth ful drye:
Derk was the night as pich or as the cole,
And at the windowe out she putte hir hole,
And Absolon, him fil no bet ne wers,
But with his mouth hi kiste hir naked ers,
Ful savourly, er he were war of this.
Abak he sterte, and thoughte it was amis,
For wel hi wiste a womman hath no beerd." (622-629)
WOWZAS!!! hahahaha!!! did you get what he did??!?!?! k, here's another. It's easy to understand, but I just like the wording.
"Speek, sweete brid, I noot nought wher thou art.
This Nicholas anoon leet flee a fart..." (696-697)
Now that was funny, you gotta admit. It's even more funny when your prof. is reading this whole long passage out in Middle English and he can barely read it without cracking up. Whew...I swear, English majors have all the fun.
