"A man shal fynde, that in his lyf, The gretteste joye is to have a wyf."

"And trewely she hadde a greet talent / To laughe and for to carpe in compaignye."

"Ful many a deyntee hors hadde he in stable, / And whan he rood, men myghte his brydel heere / Gynglen in a whistlynge wynd as cleere."

"For love is blynd alday, and may nat see."

"And in a word, she was a right good creature."
