The Wyf of Bathe

We wommen han, if that I shal nat lye,
In this matere a queynte fantasye:
Wayte what thyng we may nat lightly have,
Therafter wol we crie al day and crave.


Oh Chaucer, I couldn't have put it better myself.

YES, I COULD, I COULD HAVE WRITTEN IT IN BLOODY ENGLISH.

That aside, I like that the Wyf of Bathe's prologue is all about sex and misogamy and advice to women. It's like Cosmo for the High Medieval Ages.
