"SQUIRE, come nearer if ye will and say somewhat of love;
for certes ye know as much thereof as any man."
"Nay, sir," quoth he, "but I will say heartily as best
I know how; for I will not revolt against your wish; I will tell
a tale. If I speak amiss, have me excused. My will is good;
and lo! this is my story."

— Geoffrey Chaucer
