As thre of hem were goode, and two were badde.
The thre were goode men, and riche, and olde;
Unnethe myghte they the statut holde
In which that they were bounden unto me.
Ye woot wel what I meene of this, pardee!
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath’s Prologue. Three of her husbands were good and two were bad, says the Wife of Bath. The three goods ones were rich, but they were old and not easily able to pay their conjugal debt to provide her with sex.
