Excerpt from The English Anthology, Vol. 3 This ilke worthy knight badde ben alfo Somtime with the lord of Palatic, Agen another hethen in Turkic And evermore he badde a fovereine pris. And though that he was worthy he was wife, And of his port as meke as is a mayde. He never yet no vilanie ne Iayde In alle his lif, unto no manere wight. He was a veray parfit gentil knight, But for to tellen you of his araie, His hors was good, but he ne was not gaie. Of Inflian he wered a gipon, Alle befmotred with his habergeon, For he was late yeome fro his viage, And wente for to don his pilgrimage.
