Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales, Introduction To The Squire's Tale (Forrest Hainline's Minimalist Translation)

1 "Squire, come near, if it your will be,
2 And say somewhat about love, for certain ye
3 Connen thereon as much as any man."
4 "Nay, sir, " said he, "but I will say as I can
5 With hearty will, for I will not rebel
6 Against your lust; a tale will I tell.
7 Have me excused if I speak amiss;
8 My will is good, and lo, my tale is this."
