The first piece of literature to be written in the vernacular English rather than French or Latin. I've often seen it cited as the most influential work of English literature. That said, I've only ever read some of the naughty bits.
"In wifehood I will use my instrument
As freely as the Lord it hath me sent.If I hurt anyone, Lord give me sorrow,
My husband will have it both eve and morrow."
