I have do so as ye comanded me;
And if ye vouche sauf, ye may go see.
Dooth as yow list; have youre biheste in mynde,
For, quyk or deed, right there ye shal me fynde.
In yow lith al to do me lyve or deye –
But wel I woot the rokkes been aweye.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Franklin’s Tale. Aurelius has done the impossible. He has removed all the rocks from the coast of Brittany, just as Dorigen commanded him to – foolishly believing he would never succeed of course. Since Dorigen pledged to love him if he did that he now reminds her of that promise.
