Yo Miller

The contrast between the Knight's Tale and the Miller's Tale is an awful lot like the contrast you could pull from a love song and a rap song. The love song is much more poetic, it's an effort to make the target of the song know the author's feeling towards them to then be inspired to return them. On the other hand, the rap song's lyrics are more crude, and in a way more honest, they have an entirely different taste in compliments and the object is to brag rather than to charm.

Love song:"And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel this real forever, if anything could ever be this good again" (Everlong- Foo Fighters)

Rap song:"Let me see your ***** baby pull that shirt up, lift that skirt up got ****** like a burger" (143-Bobby Brackins)

Knight's Tale: "That Emelye, who was fairer to be seen than is the lily upon its green stalk" (1035-1036)

Miller's Tale: "And thus lie Alison and Nicholas, In business of mirth and of pleasure"(3653-3654)
