Read the excerpt from the General Prolgue to the Canterbury Tales.There was also a nun, a prioress,Whose smile was unaffected and demure;Her greatest oath was just, "By St. Eloi!”And she was known as Madame Eglantine.She sang the divine service prettily,And through the nose, becomingly intoned;And she spoke French well and elegantlyAs she’d been taught it at Stratford-at-Bow,For French of Paris was to her unknown.Good table manners she had learnt as well:She never let a crumb from her mouth fall;She never soiled her fingers, dipping deepInto the sauce; when lifting to her lipsSome morsel, she was careful not to spillSo much as one small drop upon her breast.Her greatest pleasure was in etiquette.
