Geoffrey Chaucer - The Wife of Bath's Prologue (Excerpt) lyrics

(lines 615-626) For certes I am al Venerien In feeling, and myn herte is Marcien: Venus me yaf my lust, my likerousnesse, And Mars yaf me my sturdy hardinesse. Myn ascendant was Taur and Mars therinne— Allas, allas, that evere love was sinne! I folwed ay my inclinacioun By vertu of my constellacioun; That made me I coude nought withdrawe My chambre of Venus from a good felawe. Yit have I Martes merk upon my face, And in another privee place.
