:07:02
To shorten the way, each of you will
tell a tale on the road to Canterbury

:07:08
l shall be the judge, and your guide
:07:11
I'll accompany you at my own expense,
until you reach Canterbury. Agreed?

:07:29
l have resolved...
:07:31
...to be a wedded man
:07:33
l am convinced no other life is
as worthy; marriage is paradise

:07:40
When a man is old and grey he
should take a fair young wife...

:07:46
...to beget an heir...
:07:49
...and live a life of joy and pleasure
:07:52
Everyone agrees on this
:07:57
Few disagree, of whom
Theophrastus was one...

:08:01
...but who gives a damn
if he enjoyed telling lies?

:08:05
Arrange for my marriage promptly,
for l do not want to wait

:08:11
But, dear friends, on no
account will l take an old wife

:08:16
What l think is right
:08:18
...is old fish and young flesh
:08:23
I'll have no woman of thirty:
that is but straw and fodder

:08:30
A woman trained in many
schools is but half a scholar...

:08:33
...and l don't like scholars
:08:43
Get stuffed!
