Ladyes, I prey yow that ye be nat wrooth; I kan nat glose, I am a rude man is an apology for indelicate speech in the The Merchant's Tale of the Canterbury Tales.
The full part reads:
- He stooped down, and on his back she stood,
- And caught her by a twist, and up she go'th.
- (Ladies, I pray you that ye be not wroth [angry],
- I cannot glose [gloss over this], I am a rude [ignorant] man):
- And suddenly anon this Damian
- Gan pullen up the smock, and in he throng [thrust].
