    Memorizing the periodic table is probably the high-school assignment I’m most angry about to this day.

          I had to look up what the summoner’s tale was. I can say this from memory.

          "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,

          The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,

          And bathed every veyne in swich licóur

          Of which vertú engendred is the flour;

          Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth

          Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

          The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

          Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

          And smale foweles maken melodye,

          That slepen al the nyght with open ye,

          So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,

          Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,

          And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,

          To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

          And specially, from every shires ende

          Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,

          The hooly blisful martir for to seke,

          That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke."
