random stuff you have memorized

from 11th grade English, the first 8 lines of the Prologue to Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. so basically, I know how to say this in (butchered) Old English:

Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne

I don't even know what some of it means.


also I know an alphabetical list of the major prepositions from 6th grade:

aboard about above across after against along among around at before behind below beneath beside between beyond by down during except for from in into like near of off on over past since through through to toward under underneath until with within without


I used to know all the countries of the world from that Animaniacs song, but I've forgotten most of it.
