reading, 0 moder mayde
geoffrey chaucer, ca. 1340*i400

my conning is so wayk, o blisful quene
for to declare thy grete worthinesse
that i ne may the weighte nat sustene
but as a child of twelf monthe old, or lesse
that can unnethes any word expresse
right so fare 1, and therefor i yow preye
gydeth my song that i shal of yow seye

translation:

so weak is my ability, o blessed queen
to declare your great worthiness
that i cannot bear the weight
but like a child of twelve months old or less
who can hardly speak a word
just so am i, and therefore i pray you:
guide the song which i shall speak of you

from the prioresses tale
