Name: ________________________ ID: A Read this selection. Then answer the questions that follow it. In the medieval church, a pardoner was a clergy member who had authority from the pope to grant indulgences—certificates of forgiveness—to people who showed great charity. In practice, however, many pardoners were unethical and sold their certificates to make money for the church or themselves. from The Canterbury Tales The Pardoner’s Prologue “My lords”, he said, “in churches where I preach I cultivate a haughty kind of speech And ring it out as roundly as a bell; I’ve got it all by heart, the tale I tell. 5 I have a text, it always is the same And always has been, since I learnt the game. Old as the hills and fresher than the grass, Radix malorum est cupiditas. . . . “I preach, as you have heard me say before, 10 And tell a hundred lying mockeries more. I take great pains, and stretching out my neck To east and west I crane about and peck Just like a pigeon sitting on a barn. My hands and tongue together spin the yarn 15 And all my antics are a joy to see. The curse of avarice and cupidity Is all my sermon, for it frees the pelf. Out come the pence, and specially for myself, For my exclusive purpose is to win 20 And not at all to castigate their sin. Once dead what matter how their souls may fare? They can go blackberrying, for all I care! . . . “And thus I preach against the very vice I make my living out of—avarice. 25 And yet however guilty of that sin Myself, with others I have power to win Them from it, I can bring them to repent; But that is not my principal intent. Covetousness is both the root and stuff 30 Of all I preach. That ought to be enough. “Well, then I give examples thick and fast From bygone times, old stories from the past. A yokel mind loves stories from of old, Being the kind it can repeat and hold. 35 What! Do you think, as long as I can preach And get their silver for the things I teach, That I will live in poverty, from choice? That’s not the counsel of my inner voice! 5
