Homework

So, I just wanted to tell everyone out there that I am currently doing homework. It’s such a strange thing to do, homework. One always looks for ways to get out of it, but it never seems to disappear. Before I got distracted I was reading Chaucer. This is how The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale Starts:

Experience, though noon auctoritee

Were in this world, is right ynough for me

To speke of wo that is in mariage:

For lordinges, sith I twelf yeer was of age–

Thanked be God that is eterne on live–

Housbondes at chirche dore I have had five

(If I so ofte might han wedded be),

And alle were worthy men in hir degree. 

But me was told, certain, nat longe agoon is,

That sith that Crist ne wente nevere but ones

To wedding in the Cane of Galilee,

That by the same ensample taughte he me

That I ne sholde wedded be but ones. 

Herke eek, lo, which a sharp word for the nones,

Biside a welle, Jesus, God and man,

Spak in repreve of the Samaritan:

“Thou hast yhad five housbondes,” quod he,

“And that ilke man that now hath thee 

Is not thyn housbonde.” Thus saide he certain.

What that he mente therby I can nat sayn, 

But that I axe why the fifthe man

Was noon housbonde to the Samaritan?

How manye mighte she han in mariage?

Yit herde I nevere tellen in myn age

Upon this nombre diffinicioun.

Men may divine and glose up and down,

But wel I woot, expres, withouten lie,

God bad us for to wexe and multiplye:

That gentil text I wel understonde.

 

Well, 29 lines down, only 833 to go  

This is english class too, isn’t it great? It really doesn’t even look like English. The beginning of the Prologue can be heard here. I think that it is quite interesting to listen to  http://www.luminarium.org/medlit/gp.htm

 

I go now to return to my homework.

 

Goodnight
