Match the lines from The Canterbury Tales to the characters they describe.

1. Dishevelled, save for cap, his head all bare.

As shiny eyes he had as has a hare.

A voice he had that bleated like a goat.

2. Her greatest oath was but By Saint Eloy!

And she was known as Madam Eglantine.

3. o ride about the world, loved chivalry,

Truth, honour, freedom and all courtesy.

4. He had but little gold within his coffer;

But all that he might borrow from a friend

5. Though so illustrious, he was very wise

And bore himself as meekly as a maid.

He never yet had any vileness said,

6. A lover and a lusty bachelor,

With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press

7. Right threadbare was his overcoat; for he

Had got him yet no churchly benefice

knight

clerk

squire

prioress

pardoner
