Inkling Neville Coghill habitually took notes at lectures and minutes of meetings in Chaucerian English, just a small sample will suffice from 1923, never mind the context!“Sir Lewis was ther; a good philosópher

Well couthe he speken in the Greeké tongue;
And yet, his countenance was swythé yong.”
C.S. Lewis
