I want to read pic related but I have no idea where to start. I tried reading the standard Middle English version but I felt I wasn't getting the best experience. I had to make a lot of inferences about the meanings of words based on context and which modern words they resembled, and I was often wrong.

Is there a translation worth reading? Or should I read the original with some sort of companion?

Chaucer is worthless as a poet and stole all shit from Bocaccio. Just read him.
