  4. Geoffrey Chaucer _ The Canterbury Tales

    Помни днесь и присно, Что при враге не надобно болтать. Ты раб того, кто сможет передать Слова твои. Будь в жизни незаметен, Страшись всегда и новостей и сплетен. Равно – правдивы ли они иль ложны; Запомни, в этом ошибиться можно. Скуп на слова и с равными ты будь И с высшими."

For if a man gave, the Friar dared to assert, he knew that the man was repentant. So hard is the heart of many a man that he cannot weep, though he may sorely suffer for his sins. Therefore, in the stead of weeping and praying, men must give silver to the poor Friars.

  12. Geoffrey Chaucer _ The Canterbury Tales

    One night the citizens of Rome revolted Against his tyrannies and mad ambition And, when he heard them mutiny, he bolted Alone and sought his friends for coalition. The more he knocked and begged them for admission The more they shut their doors and said him nay. And then he saw that of his own perdition He was sole author and he fled away.
