CANTERBURY TALES by Geoffrey Chaucer

The Millers Tale

 

 

15 This Absalom plumped down upon his knees,
    And said: "I am a lord in all degrees;
    For after this there may be better still
    Darling, my sweetest bird, I wait your will."
    The window she unbarred, and that in haste.
620          "Have done," said she, "come on, and do it fast,
    Before we're seen by any neighbour's eye."
          This Absalom did wipe his mouth all dry;
    Dark was the night as pitch, aye dark as coal,
    And through the window she put out her hole.
625    And Absalom no better felt nor worse,
    But with his mouth he kissed her naked arse
    Right greedily, before he knew of this.
    Aback he leapt- it seemed somehow amiss,
    For well he knew a woman has no beard;
630    He'd felt a thing all rough and longish haired,
    And said, "Oh fie, alas! What did I do?"
          "Teehee!" she laughed, and closed the window too;
    And Absalom went forth a sorry pace.
         
(now you know the origin of teehee... dates back to 1300 )
