Among the goddes hye it is affermed,
And by eterne word writen and confermed,
Thou shalt ben wedded unto oon of tho
That han for thee so muchel care and wo.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Knight’s Tale. The goddess Diana speaks to Emily, telling her not to be sad and that her fate is in the hands of the gods. She is assured that she will end up wedded to either Arcite or Palamon, who care so much for her and are about to compete for her hand in the tournament.
