Als wel the Maister as the grom。
The mihti kinges retenue
That dai may stonde of no value 3410
With worldes strengthe to defende��
For every man mot thanne entende
To stonde upon his oghne dedes
And leve alle othre mennes nedes。
That dai mai no consail availe��
The pledour and the plee schal faile��
The sentence of that ilke day
Mai non appell sette in delay��
Ther mai no gold the Jugge plie��
That he ne schal the sothe trie 3420
And setten every man upriht��
Als wel the plowman as the kniht��
The lewed man�察�the grete clerk
Schal stonde upon his oghne werk��
And such as he is founde tho��
Such schal he be for everemo。
Ther mai no peine be relessed��
Ther mai no joie ben encressed��
Bot endeles�察�as thei have do��
He schal receive on of the tuo。 3430
And thus Silvestre with his sawe
The ground of al the newe lawe
With gret devocion he precheth��
Fro point to point and pleinly techeth
Unto this hethen Emperour��
And seith�察�the hihe creatour
Hath underfonge his charite��
Of that he wroghte such pite��
Whan he the children hadde on honde。
Thus whan this lord hath understonde 3440
Of al this thing how that it ferde��
Unto Silvestre he thanne ansuerde��
With al his hole herte and seith
That he is redi to the feith。
And so the vessel which for blod
Was mad�察�Silvestre�察�ther it stod��
With clene water of the welle
In alle haste he let do felle��
And sette Constantin therinne
Al naked up unto the chinne。 3450
And in the while it was begunne��
A liht�察�as thogh it were a Sunne��
Fro hevene into the place com
Wher that he tok his cristendom��
And evere among the holi tales
Lich as thei weren fisshes skales
Ther fellen from him now and eft��
Til that ther was nothing beleft
Of al his grete maladie。
For he that wolde him purefie�察 �3460
The hihe god hath mad him clene��
So that ther lefte nothing sene��
He hath him clensed bothe tuo��
The bodi and the Soule also。
Tho knew this Emperour in dede
That Cristes feith was forto drede��
And sende anon hise lettres oute
And let do crien al aboute��
Up peine of deth that noman weyve
That he baptesme ne receive�此 �3470
After his Moder qweene Heleine

Thei treten�察�that the Cite all
Was cristned�察�and sche forth withall。
This Emperour�察�which hele hath founde��
Withinne Rome anon let founde
Tuo cherches�察�which he dede make
For Peter and for Poules sake��
Of whom he hadde avisioun��
And yaf therto possessioun 3480
Of lordschipe and of worldes good。
Bot how so that his will was good
Toward the Pope and his Franchise��
Yit hath it proved other wise��
To se the worchinge of the dede��
For in Cronique this I rede��
Anon as he hath mad the yifte��
A vois was herd on hih the lifte��
Of which al Rome was adrad��
And seith�此 �To day is venym schad 3490
In holi cherche of temporal��
Which medleth with the spirital。;
And hou it stant of that degree
Yit mai a man the sothe se��

Forthi�察�if that thou wolt pourchace
How that thou miht Envie flee��
Aqueinte thee with charite��
Which is the vertu sovereine。

And whan thou wost how that it is��
As thou schalt hiere me devise��
Thow miht thiself the betre avise。 3530
Explicit Liber Secundus
Incipit Liber Tercius
Ira suis paribus est par furiis Acherontis��
Quo furor ad tempus nil pietatis habet。
Ira malencolicos animos perturbat�察�vt equo
Iure sui pondus nulla statera tenet。
Omnibus in causis grauat Ira�察�set inter amantes��
Illa magis facili sorte grauamen agit��
Est vbi vir discors leuiterque repugnat amori��
Sepe loco ludi fletus ad ora venit。
If thou the vices lest to knowe��
Mi Sone�察�it hath noght ben unknowe��
Fro ferst that men the swerdes grounde��
That ther nis on upon this grounde��
A vice forein fro the lawe��
Wherof that many a good felawe
Hath be distraght be sodein chance��
And yit to kinde no plesance
It doth�察�bot wher he most achieveth
His pourpos�察�most to kinde he grieveth�察 �10
As he which out of conscience
Is enemy to pacience��
And is be name on of the Sevene��
Which ofte hath set this world unevene��
And cleped is the cruel Ire��
Whos herte is everemore on fyre
To speke amis and to do bothe��
For his servantz ben evere wrothe。
Mi goode fader�察�tell me this��
What thing is Ire�拭�Sone�察�it is 20
That in oure englissh Wrathe is hote��
Which hath hise wordes ay so hote��
That all a mannes pacience
Is fyred of the violence。
For he with him hath evere fyve
Servantz that helpen him to stryve��
The ferst of hem Malencolie
Is cleped�察�which in compaignie
An hundred times in an houre
Wol as an angri beste loure�察 �30
And noman wot the cause why。
Mi Sone�察�schrif thee now forthi��
Hast thou be Malencolien��
Ye�察�fader�察�be seint Julien��
Bot I untrewe wordes use��
I mai me noght therof excuse��
And al makth love�察�wel I wot��
Of which myn herte is evere hot��
So that I brenne as doth a glede
For Wrathe that I mai noght spede。 40
And thus fulofte a day for noght
Save onlich of myn oghne thoght
I am so with miselven wroth��
That how so that the game goth
With othre men�察�I am noght glad��
Bot I am wel the more unglad��
For that is othre mennes game
It torneth me to pure grame。
Thus am I with miself oppressed
Of thoght�察�the which I have impressed�察 �50
That al wakende I dreme and meete
That I with hire al one meete
And preie hire of som good ansuere��
Bot for sche wol noght gladly swere��
Sche seith me nay withouten oth��
And thus wexe I withinne wroth��
That outward I am al affraied��
And so distempred and esmaied。
A thousand times on a day
Ther souneth in myn Eres nay�察 �60
The which sche seide me tofore��
Thus be my wittes as forlore��
And namely whan I beginne
To rekne with miself withinne
How many yeres ben agon��
Siththe I have trewly loved on
And nevere tok of other hede��
And evere aliche fer to spede
I am�察�the more I with hir dele��
So that myn happ and al myn hele 70
Me thenkth is ay the leng the ferre��
That bringth my gladschip out of herre��
Wherof my wittes ben empeired��
And I�察�as who seith�察�al despeired。
For finaly�察�whan that I muse
And thenke how sche me wol refuse��
I am with anger so bestad��
For al this world mihte I be glad��
And for the while that it lasteth
Al up so doun my joie it casteth�察 �80
And ay the furthere that I be��
Whan I ne may my ladi se��
The more I am redy to wraththe��
That for the touchinge of a laththe
Or for the torninge of a stree
I wode as doth the wylde Se��
And am so malencolious��
That ther nys servant in myn hous
Ne non of tho that ben aboute��
That ech of hem ne stant in doute�察 �90
And wenen that I scholde rave
For Anger that thei se me have��
And so thei wondre more and lasse��
Til that thei sen it overpasse。
Bot�察�fader�察�if it so betide��
That I aproche at eny tide
The place wher my ladi is��
And thanne that hire like ywiss
To speke a goodli word untome��
For al the gold that is in Rome 100
Ne cowthe I after that be wroth��
Bot al myn Anger overgoth��
So glad I am of the presence
Of hire�察�that I all offence
Foryete�察�as thogh it were noght��
So overgladed is my thoght。
And natheles�察�the soth to telle��
Ayeinward if it so befelle
That I at thilke time sihe
On me that sche miscaste hire yhe�察 �110
Or that sche liste noght to loke��
And I therof good hiede toke��
Anon into my ferste astat
I torne�察�and am with al so mat��
That evere it is aliche wicke。
And thus myn hand ayein the pricke
I hurte and have do many day��
And go so forth as I go may��
Fulofte bitinge on my lippe��
And make unto miself a whippe。 120
With which in many a chele and hete
Mi wofull herte is so tobete��
That all my wittes ben unsofte
And I am wroth�察�I not how ofte��
And al it is Malencolie��
Which groweth of the fantasie
Of love�察�that me wol noght loute��
So bere I forth an angri snoute
Ful manye times in a yer。
Bot�察�fader�察�now ye sitten hier 130
In loves stede�察�I yow beseche��
That som ensample ye me teche��
Wherof I mai miself appese。
Mi Sone�察�for thin hertes ese
I schal fulfille thi preiere��
So that thou miht the betre lere
What mischief that this vice stereth��
Which in his Anger noght forbereth��
Wherof that after him forthenketh��
Whan he is sobre and that he thenketh 140
Upon the folie of his dede��
And of this point a tale I rede。
Ther was a king which Eolus
Was hote�察�and it befell him thus��
That he tuo children hadde faire��
The Sone cleped was Machaire��
The dowhter ek Canace hihte。
Be daie bothe and ek be nyhte��
Whil thei be yonge�察�of comun wone
In chambre thei togedre wone�察 �150
And as thei scholden pleide hem ofte��
Til thei be growen up alofte
Into the youthe of lusti age��
Whan kinde assaileth the corage
With love and doth him forto bowe��
That he no reson can allowe��
Bot halt the lawes of nature��
For whom that love hath under cure��
As he is blind himself�察�riht so
He makth his client blind also。 160
In such manere as I you telle
As thei al day togedre duelle��
This brother mihte it noght asterte
That he with al his hole herte
His love upon his Soster caste��
And so it fell hem ate laste��
That this Machaire with Canace
Whan thei were in a prive place��
Cupide bad hem ferst to kesse��
And after sche which is Maistresse 170
In kinde and techeth every lif
Withoute lawe positif��
Of which sche takth nomaner charge��
Bot kepth hire lawes al at large��
Nature�察�tok hem into lore
And tawht hem so�察�that overmore
Sche hath hem in such wise daunted��
That thei were�察�as who seith�察�enchaunted。
And as the blinde an other ledeth
And til thei falle nothing dredeth�察 �180
Riht so thei hadde non insihte��
Bot as the bridd which wole alihte
And seth the mete and noght the net��
Which in deceipte of him is set��
This yonge folk no peril sihe��
Bot that was likinge in here yhe��
So that thei felle upon the chance
Where witt hath lore his remembrance。
So longe thei togedre assemble��
The wombe aros�察�and sche gan tremble�察 �190
And hield hire in hire chambre clos
For drede it scholde be disclos
And come to hire fader Ere��
Wherof the Sone hadde also fere��
And feigneth cause forto ryde��
For longe dorste he noght abyde��
In aunter if men wolde sein
That he his Soster hath forlein��
For yit sche hadde it noght beknowe
Whos was the child at thilke throwe。 200
Machaire goth�察�Canace abit��
The which was noght delivered yit��
Bot riht sone after that s
