I am another admirer of Chaucer but could you not retain the original line length and stanza form that he used? Middle English is already quite difficult where English is a second language as it no doubt is for a large proportion of members. The long, seemingly endless column of broken up three word lines down the right hand side of the page is tiresome and not at all what the poet intended. Come on Poet Hunter! Reproduce what Chaucer wrote and not what suits you!

Chaucer really was a bellwheter for his time!
His work devles deep into characters and sculpts them beautifully for his readers.
