These lines are from the story “A Monk's Tale” by Geoffrey Chaucer. The monk of the story was of the view that a story should be narrated so as to encourage people to live a religious life.  He regards fortune as whimsical because it possesses the power to change anyone's life according to the deeds done by the individual.
