Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales"?

He was very critical of the clergy and you can tell this by the fact that he made fun of them constantly and was always exposing their faults and their corrupt behavior (also, he was not very nice in his description of them). He was probably not harsh for his day, considering how corrupt members of the church were during that time.

well the whole tale is about chaucers critique about the ppl. especially the clergy, he talked about how one of the characters (i forgot who) used to trick ppl into giving him money, and talks about how the priest or whatever was wearing all this fine jewelry when the clergy is supose to be modest. And how the priest likes to hunt for sport. (aka KILLING for fun)

its clever , fair , yet teasing

i took a class on that, its very very fun when you learn the language
