Gosh, that reminds me of studying Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales at grammar school. We also did introductory courses on Latin and Ancient Greek at the same time, so my tongue felt twisted!
I can still recite the prologue of The Canterbury Tales: Chaucer's General Prologue read aloud (lines 1-18, with translation) (click on the sound file)
