MAUNCIPLES TALE

Domain	Definition
Literature	Maunciples Tale A mediæval version of Ovid's tale about Coronis (Met. ii. 543, etc.). Ph�bus; had a crow which he taught to speak; it was downy white, and as big as a swan. He had also a wife whom he dearly loved, but she was faithless to him. One day when Ph�bus came home his bird 'gan sing "Cuckoo! cuckoo! cuckoo!" Ph�bus asked what he meant, and the crow told him of his wife's infidelity. Ph�bus was very angry, and, seizing his bow, shot his wife through the heart; but no sooner did she fall than he repented of his rashness and cursed the bird. "Nevermore shalt thou speak," said he; "henceforth thy offspring shall be black." Moral- "Lordlings, by this ensample, take heed what you say; be no tale-bearers, but- `Wher-so thou comest amongst high or low, Keep wellthy tong, and think upon the crow." Chaucer: Canterbury Tales.
