A Fragment of Chaucer

Right wele of lerned clerkis is it sed, That womenhud for manis' use is made; But naughty man liketh not one, or so, He lusteth aye unthriftily for mo: And whom he whilome cherished, when tied By holy church he cannot her abide. Like unto dog which lighteth of a bone, His tail he waggeth, glad thereof y-grown; But thilke same bone if to his tail thou tye, Pardie, he fearing it away doth fly.
