The Description of Sir Geoffrey Chaucer

His stature was not very tall,
Leane he was, his legs were small,
Hosd within a stock of red,
A buttond bonnet on his head,
From vnder which did hang, I weene,
Siluer haires both bright and sheene,
His beard was white, trimmed round,
His countnance blithe and merry found,
A Sleeuelesse Iacket large and wide,
With many pleights and skirts side,
Of water Chamlet did he weare,
A whittell by his belt he beare,
His shooes were corned broad before,
His Inckhorne at his side he wore,
And in his hand he bore a booke,
Thus did this auntient Poet looke.
