Whan that the month in which the world bigan,
That highte March, whan God first maked man.

Geoffrey Chaucer

But yet that holden this tale a folly,
As of a fox, or of a cock and hen,
Taketh the morality, good men.

To our doctrine it is y-writ, ywis;
Taketh the fruit, and let the chaff be still.

Geoffrey Chaucer

And batailled as it were a castel wal.
