"To yow broghte I noght elles, out of drede,
But feith, and nakednesse, and maydenhede;
And heere agayn your clothyng I restoore,
And eek your weddyng ryng, for everemore.
The remenant of youre jueles redy be
Inwith youre chambre, dar I saufly sayn.
Naked out of my fadres hous," quod she,
"I cam, and naked moot I turne agayn."
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Clerk’s Tale. Griselda says that all she brought to the marriage with Walter were her faith, her nakedness and virginity. So she returns to him all the fine clothing, wedding ring and jewels that he gave her. Naked out of her father’s house she came, and naked must she return, she tells him.
