Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Vol. 2With lokkes crullc as they were layde in presse. Of twenty yeer he was of age I gesse. Of his stature he was of evene lengthe, And wondurly delyver, and gret of strengthe. And he hadde ben somtyme in chivachie, In Flaundres, in Artoys, and in Picardie, And born him wel, as in so litel space, In hope to stonden in his lady grace. Embrowdid was he, as it were a mede Al ful of fresshe fioures, white and reede. Syngynge he was, or flowtynge, al the day He was as fressh as is the moneth of May. Schort was his goune, with sleeves long and wyde. Wel cowde he sitte on hors, and faire ryde. He cowde songes wel make and endite, J ustne and eek daunce, and wel purtray and write. So hote he lovede, that by nightertale He sleep nomore than doth a nightyngale. Curteys he was, lowly, and servysable, And carf byforn his fadur at the table.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Vol. 1: Edited With a MemoirThe Glossary which terminates the volumes has been com piled with a special view to the poems of Chaucer; but from the comprehensiveness of its design, it will be equally avail able as a guide to the works of the writers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and even of a later period. The stores of provincial dialects which have been latterly thrown open, and the labours of Urry, Gross, Nares, Tyrwhitt, Halliwell, and, indeed, most of the philologists who have explored our mediaeval language, or traced the descent of our modern English, have been laid under contribution to render the Glossary as complete as existing materials will permit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Geoffrey ChaucerThe question Of the date has been well investigated by Ten Brink; but it may be observed beforehand that the allusion to the queen' in l. 496 has long ago been noticed, and it has been thence inferred, by Tyrwhitt, that the Prologue must have been written after 1382, the year when Richard II. Married his first wife, the 'good queen Anne.' But Ten Brink's remarks enable us to look at the question much more closely.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
