The Canterbury Tales- The Prologue of The Yeoman

A yeoman had he, nor more servants, no, At that time, for he chose to travel so; And he was clad in coat and hood of green. A sheaf of peacock arrows bright and keen Under his belt he bore right carefully (Well could he keep his tackle yeomanly: His arrows had no draggled feathers low), And in his hand he bore a mighty bow. A cropped head had he and a sun-browned face. Of woodcraft knew he all the useful ways. Upon his arm he bore a bracer gay, And at one side a sword and buckler, yea, And at the other side a dagger bright, Well sheathed and sharp as spear point in the light; On breast a Christopher of silver sheen. He bore a horn in baldric all of green; A forester he truly was, I guess.

而跟隨著騎士父子的是一民侍從， 他跟隨著他們一起朝聖， 他穿著大衣和綠色的兜帽， 手上拿著靈巧的弓， 一捆箭在皮帶， 短髮和棕色的臉， 他也是個熟知木工技術， 手臂上有著亮麗的護甲， 一邊帶著劍和盾， 一邊帶著光亮的匕首， 胸前有銀色的朝聖者的字樣， 腰帶則有著綠色的號角， 看起來像是生活在森林裡的人。
