A good man was there of religioun,
And was a poure persoun of a toun,
But riche he was of hooly thought and werk.
He was also a lerned man, a clerk,
That cristes gospel trewely wolde preche;
His parishenns devoutly wolde he teche.
Benynge he was, and wonder diligent,
And in adversitee ful pacient,
And swich he was ypreved ofte sithes.
Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales
