The Canterbury Tales by English poet Geoffrey Chaucer contains 22 verse tales and 2 prose tales presumably told by pilgrims to pass the time on their way to visit a shrine in Canterbury, England. An excerpt from the tale of the Wife of Bath is heard here. The wife relates that she has been married and widowed five times but the church has recognized only one marriage. You can follow the Middle English text and modern translation as you listen to the audio excerpt.
