Lady Godiva, Peeping Tom and a Dusky-Hued Rent Boy: by Sach Catts
‘The Countess Godiva, who
was a great lover of God's mother, longing to free the town of Coventry from
the oppression of a heavy toll, often with urgent prayers besought her husband
that, from regard to Jesus Christ and his mother, he would free the town from
that service and from all other heavy burdens; and when the Earl sharply
rebuked her for foolishly asking what was so much to his damage, and always
forbade her evermore to speak to him on the subject; and while she, on the
other hand, with a woman's pertinacity, never ceased to exasperate her husband
on that matter, he at last made her this answer: "Mount your horse and
ride naked, before all the people, through the market of this town from one end
to the other, and on your return you shall have your request.”
‘On which Godiva replied, "But will you
give me permission if I am willing to do it?"
‘"I will," said he.[i]’
