Introduction to the Squire's Tale -
" Squier, com neer, if it youre wille be,
And sey somwhat of love, for certes ye
Konnen theron as muche as any man. "
" Nay, sire, " quod he, " but I wol seye as I kan
With hertly wyl, for I wol nat rebelle
Agayn youre lust; a tale wol I telle.
Have me excused if I speke amys;
My wyl is good, and lo, my tale is this. "
And sey somwhat of love, for certes ye
Konnen theron as muche as any man. "
