The Merchant's tale
(Kind of long but I wanted to give you it all so you can shorten it.)
The merchant's tale starts of with a noble knight January, he decides he wishes to marry a young wife. He chooses May, their wedding is a spectacular event, at the wedding a squire named Damien falls in love with May, she loves him back. Soon after January loses his vision and May takes advantage of this in order to start an affair with Damien, so May takes January to the garden but also tells Damien to meet there too. So while there May and Damien are up in a tree together and Pluto and his wife see what is going on. Pluto then decides to give January his vision back to see what is going on, and his wife gives all women the ability to trick men out of what they see with their own eyes. So January sees May and Damien together but she lies and believes him. This story is a marriage tale and portrays the view that women are deceitful and tricksters.
