Geoffrey Chaucer Poems

Their beauty shakes me who was once serene;
Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen.

Though that I sholde in your presence ben ever,
Myn hertes lady, as wisly he me save

Some of his work I really love, this one just isn't a favourite, , though his poetry has made me begin to research more about him, brilliant man, very descriptive always
While reading the poetry of Chaucer, one should also read about his expeditions and diplomatic missions that also influenced on his literature and language.
try to write everything in pass tense, only problem with that is that that particular poem is not so easy to do that in...im welcome to anyone else pitching in :)
I need to do a free verse prologue of Rondel Of Merciless Beauty for school, but I cant get it started...any ideas?

Chaucer really was a bellwheter for his time! His work devles deep into characters and sculpts them beautifully for his readers.
