Read the following excerpt from "The Monk's Tale" by Geoffrey Chaucer: [Nebuchadnezzar), so mighty and elate,
Supposed that God who sits in majesty
Could never rob him of his kingly state,
Yet he was cast from it, and suddenly.
Forth in the rain, thinking himself to be
An animal, he went and fed without
On hay as oxen do...
Till God released him of his madness there...
He swore to sin no more, until the hour
Of death when at last he was interred
He recognized God's mercy and his power.
