Or with a breetherede / to been withhoolde
But dwelte at hoom / and kepte wel his foolde
515
So þat the wolf ne maade it noght myscarye

He was a sheepherde / and noght a Mercenarye
And thogh he hooly weere / and vertuous
He was noght to synful men despitous
Ne of his speche / daungerous / ne digne
520
But in his techyng discreet and benygne

To drawen folk to heuene / with fairnesse
By good ensample / this was his bisynesse
But it weere / any persone obstynaat
What so he weere / of heigh / or lowe estaat
525
Hym wolde he snybben / sharply for the nonys

C
A bettre preest I trowe ther nowher noon ys

He wayted / after no pompe / and reuerence
Ne maked hym / a spyced conscience
But Cristes loore / and hise Apostles twelue
530
He taughte / but first he folwed it hym selue

Plowman.¶ With hym ther was a Plowman / was his broother
That hadde ylad of donge / ful many a Foother
A trewe swynkere / and a good was he
Lyuynge in pees / and perfit charitee
535
God loued he best with al his hoole herte

At alle tymes / thogh hym gamed / or smerte
And thanne his Neighebore / right as hym selue
He wolde thresshe / and ther to / dyke and delue
For Cristes sake / with euery poure wight
540
With outen hyre / if it laye in his myght

His tythes payde he / ful faire and wel
Bothe of his propre swynk and his catel
In a Tabard he rood / vp on a Mere
Ther was also / a Reue / and a Millere
545
A Somonour / and a Pardoner also

A Maunciple / and my self ther weere namo
Millere.¶ The Millere / was a stout carl / for the nones
Ful byg he was / of brawen / and eek of bones
That proeued wel / for ouer al ther he cam
550
At wrastlynge / he wolde haue alwey the Ram

He was short shuldred / brood / a thikke knarre
C
Ther was no dore / that he noolde heue of harre
