Dear fitzhugh,
That quotation can be found in the General Prologue of Geoffrey
Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales", line 310.
You can see the line in context, both in medieval and modern English,
by following this link:

(Librarius: Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales, General Prologue)
Hope this answers your question!

Scriptor
