SorryI'd meant to put in th "suitable Chaucer quote" which DMcG guessed would be there. It's from "The Miller's Tale", of course, where the Parish Clerk, Absolom, is being described. This is from one of the modern-spelling versions on the web, but it's basically the original.
A merry lad he was, so God me save,
And well could he let blood, cut hair, and shave,
And draw a deed or quitclaim, as might chance.
In twenty manners could he trip and dance,
After the school that reigned in Oxford, though,
And with his two legs swinging to and fro;
And he could play upon a violin;
Thereto he sang in treble voice and thin;
And as well could he play on his guitar.
In all the town no inn was, and no bar,
That he'd not visited to make good cheer,
Especially were lively barmaids there.Think that covers it!
Cheers!
