For this that thou hast herd before
Is seid the ferste point of Pride:
And next upon that other side;    1230
To schryve and speken overthis
Touchende of Pride; yit ther is
The point seconde; I thee behote;
Which Inobedience is hote。
This vice of Inobedience
Ayein the reule of conscience
Al that is humble he desalloweth;
That he toward his god ne boweth
After the lawes of his heste。
Noght as a man bot as a beste;    1240
Which goth upon his lustes wilde;
So goth this proude vice unmylde;
That he desdeigneth alle lawe:
He not what is to be felawe;
And serve may he noght for pride;
So is he badde on every side;
And is that selve of whom men speke;
Which wol noght bowe er that he breke。
I not if love him myhte plie;
For elles forto justefie   1250
His herte; I not what mihte availe。
Forthi; my Sone; of such entaile
If that thin herte be disposed;
Tell out and let it noght be glosed:
For if that thou unbuxom be
To love; I not in what degree
Thou schalt thi goode world achieve。
Mi fader; ye schul wel believe;
The yonge whelp which is affaited
Hath noght his Maister betre awaited;   1260
To couche; whan he seith 〃Go lowe;〃
That I; anon as I may knowe
Mi ladi will; ne bowe more。
Bot other while I grucche sore
Of some thinges that sche doth;
Wherof that I woll telle soth:
For of tuo pointz I am bethoght;
That; thogh I wolde; I myhte noght
Obeie unto my ladi heste;
Bot I dar make this beheste;   1270
Save only of that ilke tuo
I am unbuxom of no mo。
Whan ben tho tuo? tell on; quod he。
Mi fader; this is on; that sche
Comandeth me my mowth to close;
And that I scholde hir noght oppose
In love; of which I ofte preche;
Bot plenerliche of such a speche
Forbere; and soffren hire in pes。
Bot that ne myhte I natheles     1280
For al this world obeie ywiss;
For whanne I am ther as sche is;
Though sche my tales noght alowe;
Ayein hir will yit mot I bowe;
To seche if that I myhte have grace:
Bot that thing may I noght enbrace
For ought that I can speke or do;
And yit fulofte I speke so;
That sche is wroth and seith; 〃Be stille。〃
If I that heste schal fulfille   1290
And therto ben obedient;
Thanne is my cause fully schent;
For specheles may noman spede。
So wot I noght what is to rede;
Bot certes I may noght obeie;
That I ne mot algate seie
Somwhat of that I wolde mene;
For evere it is aliche grene;
The grete love which I have;
Wherof I can noght bothe save    1300
My speche and this obedience:
And thus fulofte my silence
I breke; and is the ferste point
Wherof that I am out of point
In this; and yit it is no pride。
Now thanne upon that other side
To telle my desobeissance;
Ful sore it stant to my grevance
And may noght sinke into my wit;
For ofte time sche me bit     1310
To leven hire and chese a newe;
And seith; if I the sothe knewe
How ferr I stonde from hir grace;
I scholde love in other place。
Bot therof woll I desobeie;
For also wel sche myhte seie;
〃Go tak the Mone ther it sit;〃
As bringe that into my wit:
For ther was nevere rooted tre;
That stod so faste in his degre;     1320
That I ne stonde more faste
Upon hire love; and mai noght caste
Min herte awey; althogh I wolde。
For god wot; thogh I nevere scholde
Sen hir with yhe after this day;
Yit stant it so that I ne may
Hir love out of my brest remue。
This is a wonder retenue;
That malgre wher sche wole or non
Min herte is everemore in on;     1330
So that I can non other chese;
Bot whether that I winne or lese;
I moste hire loven til I deie;
And thus I breke as be that weie
Hire hestes and hir comandinges;
Bot trewliche in non othre thinges。
Forthi; my fader; what is more
Touchende to this ilke lore
I you beseche; after the forme
That ye pleinly me wolde enforme;    1340
So that I may myn herte reule
In loves cause after the reule。
Toward this vice of which we trete
Ther ben yit tweie of thilke estrete;
Here name is Murmur and Compleignte:
Ther can noman here chiere peinte;
To sette a glad semblant therinne;
For thogh fortune make hem wynne;
Yit grucchen thei; and if thei lese;
Ther is no weie forto chese;   1350
Wherof thei myhten stonde appesed。
So ben thei comunly desesed;
Ther may no welthe ne poverte
Attempren hem to the decerte
Of buxomnesse be no wise:
For ofte time thei despise
The goode fortune as the badde;
As thei no mannes reson hadde;
Thurgh pride; wherof thei be blinde。
And ryht of such a maner kinde   1360
Ther be lovers; that thogh thei have
Of love al that thei wolde crave;
Yit wol thei grucche be som weie;
That thei wol noght to love obeie
Upon the trowthe; as thei do scholde;
And if hem lacketh that thei wolde;
Anon thei falle in such a peine;
That evere unbuxomly thei pleigne
Upon fortune; and curse and crie;
That thei wol noght here hertes plie   1370
To soffre til it betre falle。
Forthi if thou amonges alle
Hast used this condicioun;
Mi Sone; in thi Confessioun
Now tell me pleinly what thou art。
Mi fader; I beknowe a part;
So as ye tolden hier above
Of Murmur and Compleignte of love;
That for I se no sped comende;
Ayein fortune compleignende   1380
I am; as who seith; everemo:
And ek fulofte tyme also;
Whan so is that I se and hiere
Or hevy word or hevy chiere
Of my lady; I grucche anon;
Bot wordes dar I speke non;
Wherof sche myhte be desplesed;
Bot in myn herte I am desesed:
With many a Murmur; god it wot;
Thus drinke I in myn oghne swot;     1390
And thogh I make no semblant;
Min herte is al desobeissant;
And in this wise I me confesse
Of that ye clepe unbuxomnesse。
Now telleth what youre conseil is。
Mi Sone; and I thee rede this;
What so befalle of other weie;
That thou to loves heste obeie
Als ferr as thou it myht suffise:
For ofte sithe in such a wise    1400
Obedience in love availeth;
Wher al a mannes strengthe faileth;
Wherof; if that the list to wite
In a Cronique as it is write;
A gret ensample thou myht fynde;
Which now is come to my mynde。
Ther was whilom be daies olde
A worthi knyht; and as men tolde
He was Nevoeu to themperour
And of his Court a Courteour:    1410
Wifles he was; Florent he hihte;
He was a man that mochel myhte;
Of armes he was desirous;
Chivalerous and amorous;
And for the fame of worldes speche;
Strange aventures forto seche;
He rod the Marches al aboute。
And fell a time; as he was oute;
Fortune; which may every thred
Tobreke and knette of mannes sped;   1420
Schop; as this knyht rod in a pas;
That he be strengthe take was;
And to a Castell thei him ladde;
Wher that he fewe frendes hadde:
For so it fell that ilke stounde
That he hath with a dedly wounde
Feihtende his oghne hondes slain
Branchus; which to the Capitain
Was Sone and Heir; wherof ben wrothe
The fader and the moder bothe。   1430
That knyht Branchus was of his hond
The worthieste of al his lond;
And fain thei wolden do vengance
Upon Florent; bot remembrance
That thei toke of his worthinesse
Of knyhthod and of gentilesse;
And how he stod of cousinage
To themperour; made hem assuage;
And dorsten noght slen him for fere:
In gret desputeisoun thei were   1440
Among hemself; what was the beste。
Ther was a lady; the slyheste
Of alle that men knewe tho;
So old sche myhte
