Summary: "Cjantaclàr e Partelote" by Geoffrey Chaucer is a narrative poem, specifically part of "The Nun's Priest's Tale," that belongs to the 14th-century literary period.

The unlikely tale centers around a rooster and his hen, revealing moral lessons through their interactions and the eventual confrontation with a cunning fox. The story begins with Cjantaclàr, a proud and beautiful rooster, who captivates his hen, Partelote, with his singing.
