From Chaucer's Canterbury Tales,
(the Squire's Tale), 1386-1400:
Ey! Goddes mercy!” sayd our Hoste tho,
Now such a wyf I pray God keep me fro.
Lo, suche sleightes and subtilitees
In wommen be; for ay as busy as bees
Be thay us seely men for to desceyve,
And from a soth ever a lie thay weyve.
And by this Marchaundes tale it proveth wel.

Neatness is a point in minor morals that
deserves much more attention than it receives.
There is such a comfort in order and tidy
habits, that as a source of refined pleasure they
should be taught, encouraged, and persisted in.
The Old Farner’s Almanac, 1879
