Garden City, NY 1980Monk.Originally a hermit or anchorite, but already in the early Church applied to men living a community life in a monastery, under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, according to a specific rule, such as that of St. Basil or St. Benedict.

Answer 2

"The Nun's Priest's Tale of the Cock and the Hen, Chanticleer and Partlet" (Middle English: The Nonnes Preestes Tale of the Cok and the Hen, Chauntecleer and Pertelote) is one of The Canterbury Tales by the 14th century Middle English poet Geoffrey Chaucer. This vigorous and comical 625-line narrative poem is a beast fable and a mock epic which may have existed before Chaucer but was at the very least popularized by him.

There is no MAN in this poem, nor any real references to nuns or priests. Al the characters are animals.

Answer 4
