c. 1380, Geoffrey Chaucer, “BOOK IV. Incipit Prohemium Liber Quartus.”, in Troilus and Criseyde:`And that shal been an huge quantitee,
Thus shal I seyn, but, lest it folk aspyde,
This may be sent by no wight but by me;
I shal eek shewen him, if pees bityde,
What frendes that ich have on every syde
Toward the court, to doon the wrathe pace
Of Priamus, and doon him stonde in grace.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
