10 points! Canterbury Tales, help with english?

What is ironic in the words used by the narrator to describe the Summoner in “The Prologue” to The Canterbury Tales? You’d meet none better if you went to find one. / Why, he’d allow—just for a quart of wine— / Any good lad to keep a concubine I don't understand the lines, would someone please explain? :) Thank you!

Translation of the part of the Canterbury tales?

can someone translate this part to more modern english?? and give me the description of the host. plz Our Host gave us great welcome; everyone Was given a place and supper was begun. He served the finest victuals you could think, 770 The wine was strong and we were glad to drink. A very striking man our Host withal, And fit to be a marshal in a hall. His eyes were bright, his girth a little wide; There is no finer burgess in Cheapside.86 775 Bold in his speech, yet wise and full of tact, There was no manly attribute he lacked, What’s more he was a merry-hearted man. After our meal he jokingly began To talk of sport, and, among other things 780 After we’d settled up our reckonings, He said as follows: “Truly, gentlemen, You’re very welcome and I can’t think when —Upon my word I’m telling you no lie— I’ve seen a gathering here that looked so spry, 785 No, not this year, as in this tavern now. I’d think you up some fun if I knew how. And, as it happens, a thought has just occurred And it will cost you nothing, on my word. You’re off to Canterbury—well, God speed! 790 Blessed St. Thomas answer to your need! And I don’t doubt, before the journey’s done You mean to while the time in tales and fun. Indeed, there’s little pleasure for your bones Riding along and all as dumb as stones. 795 So let me then propose for your enjoyment, Just as I said, a suitable employment. And if my notion suits and you agree And promise to submit yourselves to me Playing your parts exactly as I say 800 Tomorrow as you ride along the way, Then by my father’s soul (and he is dead) If you don’t like it you can have my head! Hold up your hands, and not another word.” Well, our consent of course was not deferred, 805 It seemed not worth a serious debate; We all agreed to it at any rate And bade him issue what commands he would. “My lords,” he said, “now listen for your good, And please don’t treat my notion with disdain. 810 This is the point. I’ll make it short and plain. Each one of you shall help to make things slip By telling two stories on the outward trip To Canterbury, that’s what I intend, And, on the homeward way to journey’s end 815 Another two, tales from the days of old; And then the man whose story is best told, That is to say who gives the fullest measure Of good morality and general pleasure, He shall be given a supper, paid by all, 820 Here in this tavern, in this very hall, When we come back again from Canterbury. And in the hope to keep you bright and merry I’ll go along with you myself and ride All at my own expense and serve as guide. 825 I’ll be the judge, and those who won’t obey Shall pay for what we spend upon the way. Now if you all agree to what you’ve heard Tell me at once without another word, And I will make arrangements early for it.” 830 Of course we all agreed, in fact we swore it Delightedly, and made entreaty too That he should act as he proposed to do, Become our Governor in short, and be Judge of our tales and general referee, 835 And set the supper at a certain price. We promised to be ruled by his advice Come high, come low; unanimously thus We set him up in judgment over us. More wine was fetched, the business being done; 840 We drank it off and up went everyone To bed without a moment of delay. Early next morning at the spring of day Up rose our Host and roused us like a cock, Gathering us together in a flock, 845 And off we rode at slightly faster pace Than walking to St. Thomas’ watering-place;87 And there our Host drew up, began to ease His horse, and said, “Now, listen if you please, My lords! Remember what you promised me. 850 If evensong and matins will agree88 Let’s see who shall be first to tell a tale. And as I hope to drink good wine and ale I’ll be your judge. The rebel who disobeys, However much the journey costs, he pays. 855 Now draw for cut89 and then we can depart; The man who draws the shortest cut shall start.” this is my assignment, but i barely understand modern english, so for me to translate middle age english is pretty hard.

About the canterbury tales-?

How might the wife of bath react to the summoner in the canterbury tales? The Summoner A Summoner was with us in that place, Who had a fiery red cherubim's face, So sore and puffed, it made his eyes narrow. He was as lecherous as a sparrow. His scabbed black brows and mangy beard, made Him so ugly that children were afraid. Not mercury, nor white lead, nor sulphur Nor borax ointment nor oil of tartar Nor any cleansing or astringent washes, Could cure him of those suppurating blotches, Blackheads and boils which covered both his cheeks. He loved to eat garlic, onions and leeks And to drink strong wine, red as blood from a vein; Then he would shout as if he were insane. And after he'd drunk again and again He would utter nothing but Latin then. A few phrases he had learned, two or three, Which he had gathered out of some decree: And no wonder since he heard them all day, And you know very well how any jay, Can parrot "Walt" as well as the pope can. But if the subject was changed we began To see how near his learning's limit lay. Ah. Questio quid juris?* he would say. He was a good natured rascal and kind, A better companion you couldn't find, For a couple of bottles from your bin, He'd turn a blind eye to your living in sin For a year and still pardon you totally, For he would quietly 'pluck a finch` too, you see. And with those he took a real liking to, He would explain, on that score, they need have few Worries about excommunication. But if money was a man's obsession From his purse the sin must be amended. Gold - the archdeacon's hell, he pretended. But I know he was lying through his teeth. Bad men should fear anathema's stern breath, While absolution saves, this curse means hell, And he should fear imprisonment as well. He had all the young of the diocese In his power because of his readiness To listen to secrets and offer advice. He wore a garland, a giant device, More fit for a pub sign than a man's head; He'd made his shield from a flat loaf of bread.

the summoner from the canterbury tales?

i'm supposed to bring 3 things to class (one that i make) to english to represent the summoner. what could i use? here's a summary of him: The Summoner arraigns those accused of violating Church law. When drunk, he ostentatiously spouts the few Latin phrases he knows. His face is bright red from an unspecified disease. He uses his power corruptly for his own gain. He is extremely lecherous, and uses his position to dominate the young women in his jurisdiction. In exchange for a quart of wine, he would let another man sleep with his girlfriend for a year and then pardon the man completely. or more detailed: http://www.shmoop.com/canterbury-tales-prologue/the-summoner.html thanks so much!!!!

Need help with Canterbury Tales general prologue? ?

I was assigned two characters from the general prologue and I need to list their positive/negative qualities. Problem is, I have NO IDEA what the hell the text says. I have the Yeoman and the Shipman. The Shipman isn't that bad, I can tell that he wears a long "gown," rides a horse, and drinks a lot of wine, but that's about it. Help?!

Question on the Canterbury Tales... What is the meaning of this section?

There was a Franklin with him, it appeared; White as a daisy-petal was his beard. A sanguine man, high-colored and benign, He loved a morning sop of cake in wine. He lived for pleasure and had always done, For he was Epicurus' very son, In whose opinion sensual delight Was the one true felicity in sight. As noted as St. Julian was for bounty He made his household free to all the County. His bread, his ale were finest of the fine And no one had a better stock of wine. His house was never short of bake-meat pies, Of fish and flesh, and these in such supplies. It positively snowed with meat and drink And all the dainties that a man could think. According to the seasons of the year Changes of the dish were ordered to appear. He kept fat partridges in coops, beyond, Many a bream and pike were in his pond.
