But do not be angry, my lord, at my jokes. Many a true word is spoken in jest. ' The worthy Monk took the Host's words very patiently. It was a great complaint of the day against his order that they lived too well and freely, and spent in luxury the great sums which were often given them. It is true that they showed great charity and hospitality to any beggars or travellers who came to their monasteries ; but that, too, was a cause of complaint, because many idlers lived entirely at their expen...se, and never tried to work for a living. But the monks were certainly very rich, and most likely deserved a good many of the charges brought against them, and our friend the pilgrim was no worse than many of his fellows. He was no believer in the saying that a monk outside his cloister is like a fish out of water. Why should he be always poring over his books, thought he, or toiling with his hands, as so many no Chaucer and the Monk monks did ? He. Was far more eager to hunt with his swift greyhounds, or ride out on the splendid horses he kept in his stable.
