For she is fairer, as they deemen alle,
Than is Grisilde, and moore tendre of age,
And fairer fruyt bitwene hem sholde falle,
And moore plesant, for hire heigh lynage.

– Geoffrey Chaucer

The Canterbury Tales, The Clerk’s Tale. Walter’s new bride is the talk of the town when he brings her out for the people to see. They agree that she is fairer than Griselda, and younger, and fairer fruit should fall from this marriage because of her high lineage. This is ironic because she is Griselda’s daughter.
