A Summoner was ther with us in that place,
That hadde a fyr-reed cherubynnes face,
For saucefleem he was, with eyen narwe.
As hoot he was and lecherous as a sparwe,
With scalled browes blake and piled berd.
Of his visage children were aferd.

– Geoffrey Chaucer

The Canterbury Tales, General Prologue. The Summoner is so hideous looking that children fear him. He is pimpled, discolored, swollen eyelids, scabby eyebrows, and as if that isn’t enough he is also a lecher. This corrupt character’s grossness on the outside also reflects his ugliness on the inside.
