Since I From Love

Since I from Love escaped am so fat,

I ne'er think to be in his prison ta'en;

Since I am free, I count him not a bean.

He may answer, and saye this and that;

I do no force, I speak right as I mean;

Since I from Love escaped am so fat.

Love hath my name struck out of his slat,

And he is struck out of my bookes clean,

For ever more; there is none other mean;

Since I from Love escaped am so fat.

Geoffrey Chaucer

Geoffrey Chaucer is known as one of the greatest English poets of all time. The date of his birth is not known precisely but experts estimate that he was born somewhere around 1343. The son of a successful London wine seller, it is thought that he may have attended St Paul's Latin Grammar School. He may have also, studied law at the Inns of Court. Geoffrey Chaucer expanded the reputation of English as a great literary language. William Shakespeare's wrote many of his plays to show a sign of Geoffrey Chaucer's comic spirit. John Dryden, a modern interpreter of The Canterbury Tales, named Chaucer as the "Father of English poetry." Chaucer will always be remembered for his wisdom, humor and humanity.
