Easy explanation MEG-01- The Canterbury Tales - Reference To The context

I. Reference to the context supplying brief critical comments:

a) But for to tellen you of his array,

His hors were gode, but he was not gay,

of fustians he weved a gipoun, 

Al bismotered with his habergeoun;

for he was late y-come from his viage,

And wente for to doon his prilgrimage.

These lines are excerpts from Chaucer's poetry, "The General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales". The portrait of the Knight is being depicted here.

The narrator, in the company of twenty-nine pilgrims, was travelling to the holy place, the shrine of the martyr Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury. In these lines, he gives a vivid account of the knight's attire. And the narrator says, "to inform you of his garments, his horses were of supreme quality, but his clothes were not showy". The cotton shirt, which was full of chain stains, he was wearing as he would have won before starting on the pilgrimage to Canterbury.

b) Madame, the sentence of this Latin is 

Womman is mannes joye and al his bhs.

For whan I fele a-night your softe syde,

Al-be-it that I may nat on you ryde,

For that our perche is maad no narwe, alas!

These lines are excerpts from Chaucer's poetry, "The General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales". After listening to the Monk's account, the Knight becomes anxious and request all the members to entertain with a good story, which is not tragic. Then Host asks the Nun's Priest to narrate a story that makes everyone happy. He tells a story of a poor old lady who was a widow and lived a simple and generous life in a cottage along with her two daughters. She was having only three cows, a sheep, some chickens and three sows. One of her roosters, named Chanticleer, used to sing beautifully and stand out from other roosters. Among his many wives, Pertelote was the one whom he loved most. 

One day he had a terrible nightmare. Bold Pertelote reprimands him for letting a dream make him miserable. To prove his point, initially he tells her a story and further adds quotes examples of dream interpretations. 

He praises Pertelote for her beauty and grace.

In these lines, he describes a sentence in Latin, which according to him means, ‘Woman is man’s joy and the source of all his happiness.’ And when he feels Pertilote's soft side at night, his small perch don't let him rise her, but none of the nightmares bothers him.
