  Geoffrey Chaucer, Vincent Foster Hopper (1970). “Canterbury Tales (selected)”, p.180, Barron's Educational Series

• There was the murdered corpse, in covert laid,
  And violent death in thousand shapes displayed;
  The city to the soldier's rage resigned;
  Successless wars, and poverty behind;
  Ships burnt in fight, or forced on rocky shores,
  And the rash hunter strangled by the boars;
  The newborn babe by nurses overlaid;
  And the cook caught within the raging fire he made.
