Boccaccio:

Petrarch:
Fuit haud procul a palatio villula paucorum atque inopum incolarum,
Not far from the palace, there was a village, of few and needy inhabitants,
Chaucer:
Noght fer fro thilke paleys honurable
Ther as this markys shoop his mariage,
Ther stood a throop, of site delitable,
In which that povre folk of that village
Hadden hir beestes and hir herbergage,
And of hir lobour tooke hir sustenance,
After that the erthe yaf hem habundance.
