Tłumaczenie na język nowoangielski: When that April with his showers sweet The drought of March has pierced to the root And bathed every vein in such liqueur Of which virtue engendered is the flower, When Zephyrus also with his sweet breath Inspired has in every holt and heath The tender crops, and the young sun Has in the Ram his half course run, And small fowls make melody That sleep all the night with open eye, So pricks them nature in their hearts, Then long folk to go on pilgrimages, And palmers for to seek strange strands To far shrines known in sundry lands, And specially from every shires’ end Of England to Canterbury they wend The holy blessed martyr for to seek That them has helped when that they were sick.
