Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poets´ Wit and Humour The Miller of Trompington. Pipen he coude, and fishe, and nettes bete, And turnen cuppes, and wrastlen wel, and shete. Ay by his belt he bare a long pavade, And of a swerd ful trenchant was the blade. A joly popper bare he in his pouche; Ther n´as no man for peril dorst him touche. A Shefeld thwitel bare he in his hose. Round was his face, and camuse was his nose. As pilled as an ape was his skull. He was a market-beter at the full. Ther dorste no wight houd upon him legge, That he ne swore he shuld anon abegge. A thefe he was forsoth, of corn and mele, And that a slie, and usant for to stele. His name was hoten deinous Simekim. A wyf he hadde, comen of noble kin. Gret soken hath this miller out of doute With whete and malt, of all the land aboute; And namely ther was a gret college Men clepe the Soler hall at Cantebrege, Ther was hir whete and eke hir malt yground. And on a day it happed in a stound, Sike lay the manciple on a maladie, Men wenden wisly that he shulde die. For which this miller stale both mele and corn An hundred times more fhan beforn. For therbeforn he stale but eurteisly, But now he was a thefe outrageously. For which the werdein chidde and made fare, But therof set the miller not a tare; He eraked bost, and swore it n´as not so. Than were ther yonge poure seoleres two, That dwelten in the halle of which I say; Testif they were, and lusty for to play; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
