In Chaucer's "Nun's Priest's Tale," a
rooster- or chanticleer- outwits a fox.
The chanticleer proves himself to be intel-
ligent, good looking, athletic, smooth and
determined. Much like Duke students.
"She had a cock, hight Chanticleer.
In all the land, of crowing n'as his peer;
Hisvoicewasmerrierthanthe merryorgan
On masse-days that in the churche gone.
Well sikerer was his crowing in his lodge
Than is a clock or an abbey horologe."
- Geoffrey Chaucer
