And there�察�I do yow understonde��
I am topulled in my thoght��
So that of reson leveth noght��
Wherof that I me mai defende。
My goode Sone�察�god thamende��
For as me thenketh be thi speche
Thi wittes ben riht feer to seche。 570
As of thin Ere and of thin yhe
I woll nomore specefie��
Bot I woll axen overthis
Of othre thing how that it is。
Mi Sone�察�as I thee schal enforme��
Ther ben yet of an other forme
Of dedly vices sevene applied��
Wherof the herte is ofte plied
To thing which after schal him grieve。
The ferste of hem thou schalt believe 580
Is Pride�察�which is principal��
And hath with him in special
Ministres five ful diverse��
Of whiche�察�as I the schal reherse��
The ferste is seid Ypocrisie。
If thou art of his compaignie��
Tell forth�察�my Sone�察�and schrif the clene。
I wot noght�察�fader�察�what ye mene��
Bot this I wolde you beseche��
That ye me be som weie teche 590
What is to ben an ypocrite��
And thanne if I be forto wyte��
I wol beknowen�察�as it is。
Mi Sone�察�an ypocrite is this�察�
A man which feigneth conscience��
As thogh it were al innocence��
Withoute�察�and is noght so withinne��
And doth so for he wolde winne
Of his desir the vein astat。
And whanne he comth anon therat�察 �600
He scheweth thanne what he was��
The corn is torned into gras��
That was a Rose is thanne a thorn��
And he that was a Lomb beforn
Is thanne a Wolf�察�and thus malice
Under the colour of justice
Is hid�察�and as the poeple telleth��
These ordres witen where he duelleth��
As he that of here conseil is��
And thilke world which thei er this 610
Forsoken�察�he drawth in ayein��
He clotheth richesse�察�as men sein��
Under the simplesce of poverte��
And doth to seme of gret decerte
Thing which is litel worth withinne��
He seith in open�察�fy� �to Sinne��
And in secre ther is no vice
Of which that he nis a Norrice��
And evere his chiere is sobre and softe��
And where he goth he blesseth ofte�察 �620
Wherof the blinde world he dreccheth。
Bot yet al only he ne streccheth
His reule upon religioun��
Bot next to that condicioun
In suche as clepe hem holy cherche
It scheweth ek how he can werche
Among tho wyde furred hodes��
To geten hem the worldes goodes。
And thei hemself ben thilke same
That setten most the world in blame�察 �630
Bot yet in contraire of her lore
Ther is nothing thei loven more��
So that semende of liht thei werke
The dedes whiche are inward derke。
And thus this double Ypocrisie
With his devolte apparantie
A viser set upon his face��
Wherof toward this worldes grace
He semeth to be riht wel thewed��
And yit his herte is al beschrewed。 640
Bot natheles he stant believed��
And hath his pourpos ofte achieved
Of worschipe and of worldes welthe��
And takth it�察�as who seith�察�be stelthe
Thurgh coverture of his fallas。
And riht so in semblable cas
This vice hath ek his officers
Among these othre seculers
Of grete men�察�for of the smale
As for tacompte he set no tale�察 �650
Bot thei that passen the comune
With suche him liketh to comune��
And where he seith he wol socoure
The poeple�察�there he woll devoure��
For now aday is manyon
Which spekth of Peter and of John
And thenketh Judas in his herte。
Ther schal no worldes good asterte
His hond�察�and yit he yifth almesse
And fasteth ofte and hiereth Messe�此 �660
With mea culpa�察�which he seith��
Upon his brest fullofte he leith
His hond�察�and cast upward his yhe��
As thogh he Cristes face syhe��
So that it seemeth ate syhte��
As he al one alle othre myhte
Rescoue with his holy bede。
Bot yet his herte in other stede
Among hise bedes most devoute
Goth in the worldes cause aboute�察 �670
How that he myhte his warisoun
Encresce。 And in comparisoun
Ther ben lovers of such a sort��
That feignen hem an humble port��
And al is bot Ypocrisie��
Which with deceipte and flaterie
Hath many a worthi wif beguiled。
For whanne he hath his tunge affiled��
With softe speche and with lesinge��
Forth with his fals pitous lokynge�察 �680
He wolde make a womman wene
To gon upon the faire grene��
Whan that sche falleth in the Mir。
For if he may have his desir��
How so falle of the remenant��
He halt no word of covenant��
Bot er the time that he spede��
Ther is no sleihte at thilke nede��
Which eny loves faitour mai��
That he ne put it in assai�察 �690
As him belongeth forto done。
The colour of the reyni Mone
With medicine upon his face
He set�察�and thanne he axeth grace��
As he which hath sieknesse feigned。
Whan his visage is so desteigned��
With yhe upcast on hire he siketh��
And many a contenance he piketh��
To bringen hire in to believe
Of thing which that he wolde achieve�察 �700
Wherof he berth the pale hewe��
And for he wolde seme trewe��
He makth him siek�察�whan he is heil。
Bot whanne he berth lowest the Seil��
Thanne is he swiftest to beguile
The womman�察�which that ilke while
Set upon him feith or credence。
Mi Sone�察�if thou thi conscience
Entamed hast in such a wise��
In schrifte thou thee myht avise 710
And telle it me�察�if it be so。
Min holy fader�察�certes no。
As forto feigne such sieknesse
It nedeth noght�察�for this witnesse
I take of god�察�that my corage
Hath ben mor siek than my visage。
And ek this mai I wel avowe��
So lowe cowthe I nevere bowe
To feigne humilite withoute��
That me ne leste betre loute 720
With alle the thoghtes of myn herte��
For that thing schal me nevere asterte��
I speke as to my lady diere��
To make hire eny feigned chiere。
God wot wel there I lye noght��
Mi chiere hath be such as my thoght��
For in good feith�察�this lieveth wel��
Mi will was betre a thousendel
Than eny chiere that I cowthe。
Bot�察�Sire�察�if I have in my yowthe 730
Don other wise in other place��
I put me therof in your grace��
For this excusen I ne schal��
That I have elles overal
To love and to his compaignie
Be plein withoute Ypocrisie��
Bot ther is on the which I serve��
Althogh I may no thonk deserve��
To whom yet nevere into this day
I seide onlyche or ye or nay�察 �740
Bot if it so were in my thoght。
As touchende othre seie I noght
That I nam somdel forto wyte
Of that ye clepe an ypocrite。
Mi Sone�察�it sit wel every wiht
To kepe his word in trowthe upryht
Towardes love in alle wise。
For who that wolde him wel avise
What hath befalle in this matiere��
He scholde noght with feigned chiere 750
Deceive Love in no degre。
To love is every herte fre��
Bot in deceipte if that thou feignest
And therupon thi lust atteignest��
That thow hast wonne with thi wyle��
Thogh it thee like for a whyle��
Thou schalt it afterward repente。
And forto prove myn entente��
I finde ensample in a Croniqe
Of hem that love so beswike。 760
It fell be olde daies thus��
Whil themperour Tiberius
The Monarchie of Rome ladde��
Ther was a worthi Romein hadde
A wif�察�and sche Pauline hihte��
Which was to every mannes sihte
Of al the Cite the faireste��
And as men seiden�察�ek the beste。
It is and hath ben evere yit��
That so strong is no mannes wit�察 �770
Which thurgh beaute ne mai be drawe
To love�察�and stonde under the lawe
Of thilke bore frele kinde��
Which makth the hertes yhen blinde��
Wher no reson mai be comuned��
And in this wise stod fortuned
This tale�察�of which I wolde mene��
This wif�察�which in hire lustes grene
Was fair and freissh and tendre of age��
Sche may noght lette the corage 780
Of him that wole on hire assote。
Ther was a Duck�察�and he was hote
Mundus�察�which hadde in his baillie
To lede the chivalerie
Of Rome�察�and was a worthi knyht��
Bot yet he was noght of such myht
The strengthe of love to withstonde��
That he ne was so broght to honde��
That malgre wher he wole or no��
This yonge wif he loveth so�察 �790
That he hath put al his assay
To wynne thing which he ne may
Gete of hire graunt in no manere��
Be yifte of gold ne be preiere。
And whanne he syh that be no mede
Toward hir love he myhte spede��
Be sleyhte feigned thanne he wroghte��
And therupon he him bethoghte
How that ther was in the Cite
A temple of such auctorite�察 �800
To which with gret Devocioun
The noble wommen of the toun
Most comunliche a pelrinage
Gon forto preie thilke ymage
Which the godesse of childinge is��
And cleped was be name Ysis��
And in hire temple thanne were��
To reule and to ministre there
After the lawe which was tho��
Above alle othre Prestes tuo。 810
This Duck�察�which thoghte his love gete��
Upon a day hem tuo to mete
Hath bede�察�and thei come at his heste��
Wher that thei hadde a riche feste��
And after mete in prive place
This lord�察�which wolde his thonk pourchace��
To ech of hem yaf thanne a yifte��
And spak so that be weie of schrifte
He drowh hem unto his covine��
To helpe and schape how he Pauline 820
After his lust deceive myhte。
And thei here trowthes bothe plyhte��
That thei be nyhte hire scholden wynne
Into the temple�察�and he therinne
Schal have of hire al his entente��
And thus acorded forth thei wente。
Now lest thurgh which ypocrisie
Ordeigned was the tricherie��
Wherof this ladi was deceived。
These Prestes hadden wel conceived 830
That sche was of gret holinesse��
And with a contrefet simplesse��
Which hid was in a fals corage��
Feignende an hevenely message
Thei come and seide unto hir thus��
;Pauline�察�the god Anubus
Hath sent ous bothe Prestes hiere��
And seith he woll to thee appiere
Be nyhtes time himself alone��
For love he hath to thi persone�此 �840
And therupon he hath ous bede��
That we in Ysis temple a stede
Honestely for thee pourveie��
Wher thou be nyhte�察�as we thee seie��
Of him schalt take avisioun。
For upon thi condicioun��
The which is chaste and ful of feith��
Such pris�察�as he ous tolde�察�he leith��
That he wol stonde of thin acord��
And forto bere hierof record 850
He sende ous hider bothe tuo。;
Glad was hire innocence tho
Of suche wordes as sche herde��
With humble chiere and thus answerde��
And seide that the goddes wille
Sche was al redy to fulfille��
That be hire housebondes leve
Sche wolde in Ysis temple at eve
Upon hire goddes grace abide��
To serven him the nyhtes tide。 860
The Prestes tho gon hom ayein��
And sche goth to hire sovereign��
Of goddes wille and as it was
Sche tolde him al the pleine cas��
Wherof he was deceived eke��
And bad that sche hire scholde meke
Al hol unto the goddes heste。
And thus sche�察�which was al honeste
To godward after hire entente��
At nyht unto the temple wente�察 �870
Wher that the false Prestes were��
And thei receiven hire there
With such a tokne of holinesse��
As thogh thei syhen a godesse��
And al withinne in prive place
A softe bedd of large space
Thei hadde mad and encourtined��
Wher sche was afterward engined。
Bot sche�察�which al honour supposeth��
The false Prestes thanne opposeth�察 �880
And axeth be what observance
Sche myhte most to the plesance
Of godd that nyhtes reule kepe��
And thei hire bidden forto slepe
Liggende upon the bedd alofte��
For so�察�thei seide�察�al stille and softe
God Anubus hire wolde awake。
The conseil in this wise take��
The Prestes fro this lady gon��
And sche�察�that wiste of guile non�察 �890
In the manere as it was seid
To slepe upon the bedd is leid��
In hope that sche scholde achieve
Thing which stod thanne upon bilieve��
Fulfild of alle holinesse。
Bot sche hath failed�察�as I gesse��
For in a closet faste by
The Duck was hid so prively
That sche him myhte noght perceive��
