Présentation de l'éditeur

Whan that A prille with his shoures sote The droughte of March hath perced to the rote, And bathed every veyne in swich licour Of which vertu engendred is the flour; Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth 5I nspired hath in every holt and heeth The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne Hath in the Kam his halfe cours y-ronne, And smale fowles raaken melodye, That slepen al the night with open ye, loS opriketh hem nature in hir corages: Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages, And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes. To feme halwes couthe in sondry londes, And specially from every shires ende 15 Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende, The holy blisful raartir for to seke, That hem hath holpen whan that they were seke.
