Answer 1

This stanza is taken from "The Canterbury Tales: The General Prologue". These lines are about the Friar.

Explanation:

• His name was Hubert. He lived a happy life.

• He wore a thick and bell-shaped robe. He had a unique technique of begging. He also knew all the bars and bartenders of that area.

• He was quite a powerful man. He could sing songs and play the fiddle. This made his eyes twinkle. He did all of this to make his English sweet and pleasant.
