    “the yonge sonne
    Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
    And smale foweles maken melodye,
    That slepen al the nyght with open eye—
    So priketh hem nature in hir corages—
    Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    “O yonge fresshe folkes, he or she,
    In which that love up-groweth with your age,
    Repeyreth hoom fro worldly vanitee,
    And of your herte up-casteth the visage
    To thilke God that after his image
    Yow made, and thynketh al nis but a faire
    This world, that passeth sone as floures faire.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340–1400)
