| A | B |
|---|
| Prioress/Nun | Prone to excessive sorrow and showy weeping, I care for all creatures (the small, furry ones the best) |
| Monk | I don't fancy the rules others placed before me; choose life's more spacious way. Hunting is my pleasure. |
| Franklin | Epicurian and hedonistic am I! I love my cake and wine. I make my household free to all the county. At my house, it snows of meat and drink! |
| Serjeant at the Law | Though there seemed to be no one busier, I am not as busy as I seem. The king has appointed me to specialize in property disputes. |
| Squire | At night you can find me wooing my lover passionately or pressing my curls. |
| Yeoman | I'm dripping with the accessories of my trade, but I'm a devout man with a St. Christopher medal around my neck. |
| Knight | I've made history in various battles. I'm "true, perfect, and gentle." |
| Friar | I know the names of all those I serve (especially the ladies). At the taverns I am known as one who can give you a good rate on confessionals. |
| Oxford Cleric/Clerk | I spend what little money I do find on books even though some would say I should spend more on food or clothing. |
| Merchant | No one really knows my real name. Perhaps because I am so in debt. But you would not have known that if you had focused on my attire and stately manner or worldly conversation. |
| Host | I suggest that the pilgrimage become a story-telling contest. |
| Summoner | I suffer from face boils and am a lecherous lover. Garlic, and onions suit me best when I speak only Latin (for effect). |
| Haberdasher/Carpenter/Weaver/Dyer/Tapestry-maker | We are described together. A group of artisans with wives who are benefiting from our work. |
| Wife of Bath | The ample hips and space between my teeth indicate that I might be a good judge of matters of love. |
| Cook | Making an elegant chicken stew is my forte; it's too bad I have an ulcer on my chin. |
| Skipper/Shipman | The dagger on a strap around my neck gives some people pause. Many tempests have shaken my beard. |
| Plowman | I am the best example of a good and faithful laborer. |
| Miller | My beard is as red as a fox. The tuft of hair on the tip off my nose is a physical indicator of my beastly nature. I steal corn - that's my skill. |
| Doctor | Astrology is my science of choice. I love gold best. |
| Parson | A poor man in material goods, but rich in holy thoughts and works. Brother to the plowman. |
| Manciple | A careful buying and purchasing agent for a group of lawyers - I manipulate a lot for myself, of course. |
| Reeve | I'm the manager of a large estate - bad-tempered and skinny. People under me are afraid. |
| Pardoner | My yellow hair is my favorite. I think it looks stylish as I ride my horse. Did I mention that I have phony relics to sell? |
