Since I from Love escaped am so fat, <br />I ne'er think to be in his prison ta'en; <br />Since I am free, I count him not a bean. <br /> <br />He may answer, and saye this and that; <br />I do no force, I speak right as I mean; <br />Since I from Love escaped am so fat. <br /> <br />Love hath my name struck out of his slat, <br />And he is struck out of my bookes clean, <br />For ever more; there is none other mean; <br />Since I from Love escaped am so fat.<br /><br />Geoffrey Chaucer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/since-i-from-love/
