But finally, whan that the sothe is wist That Alla giltelees was of hir wo, I trowe an hundred tymes been they kist, And swich a blisse is ther bitwix hem two That, save the joye that lasteth everemo, Ther is noon lyk that any creature Hath seyn or shal, whil that the world may dure.

But finally, whan that the sothe is wist
That Alla giltelees was of hir wo,
I trowe an hundred tymes been they kist,
And swich a blisse is ther bitwix hem two
That, save the joye that lasteth everemo,
Ther is noon lyk that any creature
Hath seyn or shal, whil that the world may dure.

– Geoffrey Chaucer

The Canterbury Tales, The Man of Law’s Tale. When Constance learns the truth about the forged letters and that Alla is guiltless and was not the cause of her woe, they kiss a hundred times and are blissfully happy.
