Boccaccio:

Petrarch:
et insolito tanti hospitis adventu stupidam invenere,
and abashed by the unexpected advent of so great a throng of strangers.
Chaucer:
No wonder is thogh that she were astoned
To seen so greet a grest come in that place;
She nevere was to swiche gestes woned,
For which she looked with ful pale face-
But shortly forth this tale for to chace,
Thise arn the wordes that the markys sayde
To this benigne verray feithful mayde.
