bile quotes

His coomb was redder than the fyn coral, And batailled as it were a castle wal; His byle was blak, and as the jeet it shoon; Lyk asure were his legges and his toon; His nayles whitter than the lylye flour, And lyk the burned gold was his colour.

-Chaucer, Geoffrey
  Of Chauntecleer. Canterbury Tales,'The Nun's Priest's Tale', l.2859^64.
