more faithful translation of Middle English?[edit]

"and met up with a friend whose wife was a whore" is fine, but it really misses the force "swivved for her sustenance". Anyone have a more faithful adaptation of the Middle English. --Saforrest 07:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Commet[edit]

Years ago I read in a Penguin books translation of "The Cook's Tale" a commet that implies that the Cook is so drunk that his heavy breathing is a indication of pneumonia; likewise this line of reasoning implies-although not stated-that the both the eqaully drunken Miller and the red faced Summoner are also canidates with this fatal disease?
