Poem by Rudyard Kipling The Justice's Tale (Chaucer) WITH them there rode a lustie Engineere Wel skilled to handel everich waie her geere, Hee was soe wise ne man colde showe him naught And out of Paris was hys learnynge brought. Frontlings mid brazen wheeles and wandes he sat, And on hys heade he bare an leathern hat. Hee was soe certaine of his governance, That, by the Road, he tooke everie chaunce. For simple people and for lordlings eke Hee wolde not bate a del but onlie squeeke Behinde their backés on an horné hie Until they crope into a piggestie. He was more wood than bull in china-shoppe, And yet for cowes and doggés wolde hee stop, Not our of Marcie but for Preudence-sake— Than hys dependaunce ever was hys brake.
