rymenhildReaders alle, I beg of ye that ye reden nat simplyche Chauceres blog, but eek the comments thereto. Where else canst one finde conversacioun of such geekery as this?
"Pacient Griselde" writes, Ich am but a povre scoler of English, a yonge clerke, and thou been myn maist leevere auctor. Wol thou with mich slepen?
Nostre Geoffrey turns her down gently, thus: Such an swete proposicoun thou makest, but ich am a marryede man with childer, and thou art a yonge mayde, oon the faireste vnder sonne.
Cecilia Chaumpaigne (see 1380 on this timeline for more information) takes issue with Geoffrey's coy denials: Certes, Geffrey, I holde thyn wordes to Pacient Griselde ryght false and twa-faced when Ich consydre all that hath passyd entre vous y moi. Pleyeth not the dumb stoon, Geffrey. Thou knowest the thynge of which Y speke.
Geoffrey: Myne mainpernours haven advised me nat to make mencioun of anye of the detailles of the cas yn a public forum.
Where can I get an "ICH BELEEVE CECILIA" pin? Somehow, I don't see Chaucer putting one on his Zazzle store.
