Urbi et Orbi

For if a preest be foul, on whom we truste,
No wonder is a lewed man to ruste;
And a shame it is, if a prest take keep,
A shiten shepherde and a clene sheep.
Well oghte a preest ensample for to yive,
By his clennesse, how his sheepe sholde lyve.

Geoffrey Chaucer, from the General Prologue
