Bunun Canterbury Tales'de (Chaucer) sık sık kullanıldığını hatırlıyorum.
' God give you sorrow! What ails you that you sleep thus? It's good morrow! Have you had fleas all night, or are you drunk? '
' What ails you now, man? Some gay girl, God knows,
Has brought you on the jump to my bellows;
By Saint Neot, you know well what I mean.”
