Hir othes been so grete and so dampnable
That it is grisly for to heere hem swere.
Oure blissed Lordes body they totere –
Hem thoughte that Jewes rente hym noght ynough –
And ech of hem at otheres synne lough.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Pardoner’s Tale. Along with their drinking, whoring and gambling, the young revelers are swearing oaths so bad as to to earn them damnation. The Pardoner likens it to tearing Jesus’s body to pieces, thinking that the Jews did not tear him enough, he adds in an anti-Semetic commemnt. And to make matters worse, they are laughing at the other’s sin.
