The Miller's Tale
by Geoffrey Chaucer (excerpt)

In twenty manners could he trip and dance,
After the school that reigned in Oxford, though,
And with his two legs swinging to and fro;
And he could play upon a violin;
Thereto he sang in treble voice and thin;
And as well could he play on his guitar.

Answer 1

quickness and clerverness as the letter enlists things he can do, as well as that he goes to a reigned school in Oxford:)
