Fair Susan did her wif-hede well menteine, <br />Algates assaulted sore by letchours tweine; <br />Now, and I read aright that auncient song, <br />Olde were the paramours, the dame full yong. <br /> <br />Had thilke same tale in other guise been tolde; <br />Had they been young (pardie) and she been olde, <br />That, by St. Kit, had wrought much sorer tryal, <br />Full merveillous, I wrote, were swilk denyal.<br /><br />Matthew Prior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fair-susan-did-her-wif-hede-well-menteine-in-chaucer-s-style/
