Thou art so loothly, and so oold also,
And therto comen of so lough a kynde,
That litel wonder is thogh I walwe and wynde.
So wolde God myn herte wolde breste!

– Geoffrey Chaucer

The Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath’s Tale. This is the Knight’s response when the old hag asks him why he does not behave in bed as a husband should on their wedding night. He says with anger and hate that he tosses and twists about because she is so loathly and old and comes from low born.
