See Chaucer's
Portrait from the famous Ellesmere manuscript (Ellesmere 26 C 9,
Huntington Library, San Marino, California). In this image, Chaucer the
Pilgrim upon a horse points to the title of the Tale of Melibee, one of
the two tales the Pilgrim-Narrator tells during the Canterbury
Tales. The Host had interrupted his early story, The
Tale of Sir Thopas, because it was a worthless tale told badly!
