The Canterbury Tales
The term humor refers to the four fluids of the human body: phlegm, blood, yellow bile, and black bile. Being sick would mean they the humors are imbalanced,
He knew the cause of every sickness,
Whether it brings heat or cold, moisture or dryness,
And where engendered, and of what humour;
He was a very good practitioner.
