Read the excerpt from the General Prolgue to the Canterbury Tales
To any kind of man he was indeed
The very pattem of a noble knight
But as for his appearance and outfit,
He had good horses yet was far from smart
Which is the correct translation of the excerpt into
Middle English?
O in listes thryes, and ay slayn his foo.
This ilke worthy knight had been also
Somtyme with the lord of Palatye,
Ageyn another hethen in Turkye
And evermore he hadde a sovereyn prys.
And though that he were worthy, he was wys,
And of his port as meke as is a mayde.
He never yet no vileinye ne sayde
In al his lyf, un to no maner wight.
He was a verray parfit gentil knight
But for to tellen yow of his array,
His hors were gode, but he was nat gay
Oor fustian he wered a gipoun
Al bismotered with his habergeoun
For he was latv-come from his viage
