Whose Faulty Vision

Chaucer’s Pickup Lines

Okay, for the serious lit geeks among us, here’s a great list of Chaucerian pick-up lines. A few personal favorites:

• Makstow a pilgrymage heere often?
• Woldstow haue me shyfte thyne voweles?
• Do sheriffs administere thee to those who breke the kinges peace? Bycause thou lookst “fyne.”
• Howe abovte a blancmange and the acte of Venus? Whatte, blancmange pleseth thee nat?
