The Tabard Inn
The rooms and stables spacious were and wide,And well we there were eased, and of the best.

The Host
A seemly man our good host was, withal, Fit to have been a marshal in some hall; He was a large man, with protruding eyes, As fine a burgher as in Cheapside lies; Bold in his speech, and wise, and right well taught
![Page 6: 7. Guilds God and Government](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/557c1d5cd8b42af2418b5184/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Guildsmen
A haberdasher and a carpenter, An arras-maker, dyer, and weaver Were with us, clothed in similar livery, All of one sober, great fraternity. Their gear was new and well adorned it was; Their weapons were not cheaply trimmed with brass,But all with silver; chastely made and well Their girdles and their pouches too,
![Page 7: 7. Guilds God and Government](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/557c1d5cd8b42af2418b5184/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Each man of them appeared a proper burges To sit in guildhall on a high dais. And each of them, for wisdom he could span, Was fitted to have been an alderman; For chattels they'd enough, and, too, of rent; To which their goodwives gave a free assent, Or else for certain they had been to blame. It's good to hear "Madam" before one's name, And go to church when all the world may see, Having one's mantle borne right royally.
