Chaucer, though over seventy, refused to acknowledge his age. On one occasion, he boasted, "My physical strength is as great as it was in my youth."
"How so?" asked his companion.
Chaucer replied, "There is a large stone roller in my courtyard. I could not lift it when I was young, and I still cannot lift it now."
