Open passage
No change of hue, no pose of limb
Open passage
Gave sign that aught was false in him.
Open passage
Concise, unfaltering, sweet and clear,
Open passage
Without a word to pain the ear,
Open passage
From chest to throat, nor high nor low,
Open passage
His accents came in measured flow.
Open passage
Somewhat similarly in The Squire's Tale:
Open passage
“He with a manly voice said his message,
Open passage
After the form used in his language,
Open passage
Withouten vice of syllable or of letter.
Open passage
And for his talë shouldë seem the better
Open passage
Accordant to his wordës was his chere,
Open passage
As teacheth art of speech them that it lere.”
