That eny word me scholde asterte
Which as I scholde have holden inne。
And so forth after I beginne
And loke if ther was elles oght
To speke; and I ne spak it noght:  570
And thanne; if I mai seche and finde
That eny word be left behinde;
Which as I scholde more have spoke;
I wolde upon miself be wroke;
And chyde with miselven so
That al my wit is overgo。
For noman mai his time lore
Recovere; and thus I am therfore
So overwroth in al my thoght;
That I myself chide al to noght:   580
Thus for to moche or for to lite
Fulofte I am miself to wyte。
Bot al that mai me noght availe;
With cheste thogh I me travaile:
Bot Oule on Stock and Stock on Oule;
The more that a man defoule;
Men witen wel which hath the werse;
And so to me nys worth a kerse;
Bot torneth on myn oghne hed;
Thogh I; til that I were ded;   590
Wolde evere chyde in such a wise
Of love as I to you devise。
Bot; fader; now ye have al herd
In this manere how I have ferd
Of Cheste and of dissencioun;
Yif me youre absolucioun。
Mi Sone; if that thou wistest al;
What Cheste doth in special
To love and to his welwillinge;
Thou woldest flen his knowlechinge    600
And lerne to be debonaire。
For who that most can speke faire
Is most acordende unto love:
Fair speche hath ofte brought above
Ful many a man; as it is knowe;
Which elles scholde have be riht lowe
And failed mochel of his wille。
Forthi hold thou thi tunge stille
And let thi witt thi wille areste;
So that thou falle noght in Cheste;   610
Which is the source of gret destance:
And tak into thi remembrance
If thou miht gete pacience;
Which is the leche of alle offence;
As tellen ous these olde wise:
For whan noght elles mai suffise
Be strengthe ne be mannes wit;
Than pacience it oversit
And overcomth it ate laste;
Bot he mai nevere longe laste;      620
Which wol noght bowe er that he breke。
Tak hiede; Sone; of that I speke。
Mi fader; of your goodli speche
And of the witt which ye me teche
I thonke you with al myn herte:
For that world schal me nevere asterte;
That I ne schal your wordes holde;
Of Pacience as ye me tolde;
Als ferforth as myn herte thenketh;
And of my wraththe it me forthenketh。    630
Bot; fader; if ye forth withal
Som good ensample in special
Me wolden telle of som Cronique;
It scholde wel myn herte like
Of pacience forto hiere;
So that I mihte in mi matiere
The more unto my love obeie
And puten mi desese aweie。
Mi Sone; a man to beie him pes
Behoveth soffre as Socrates  640
Ensample lefte; which is write:
And for thou schalt the sothe wite;
Of this ensample what I mene;
Althogh it be now litel sene
Among the men thilke evidence;
Yit he was upon pacience
So sett; that he himself assaie
In thing which mihte him most mispaie
Desireth; and a wickid wif
He weddeth; which in sorwe and strif  650
Ayein his ese was contraire。
Bot he spak evere softe and faire;
Til it befell; as it is told;
In wynter; whan the dai is cold;
This wif was fro the welle come;
Wher that a pot with water nome
Sche hath; and broghte it into house;
And sih how that hire seli spouse
Was sett and loked on a bok
Nyh to the fyr; as he which tok    660
His ese for a man of age。
And sche began the wode rage;
And axeth him what devel he thoghte;
And bar on hond that him ne roghte
What labour that sche toke on honde;
And seith that such an Housebonde
Was to a wif noght worth a Stre。
He seide nowther nay ne ye;
Bot hield him stille and let hire chyde;
And sche; which mai hirself noght hyde;  670
Began withinne forto swelle;
And that sche broghte in fro the welle;
The waterpot sche hente alofte
And bad him speke; and he al softe
Sat stille and noght a word ansuerde;
And sche was wroth that he so ferde;
And axeth him if he be ded;
And al the water on his hed
Sche pourede oute and bad awake。
Bot he; which wolde noght forsake  680
His Pacience; thanne spak;
And seide how that he fond no lak
In nothing which sche hadde do:
For it was wynter time tho;
And wynter; as be weie of kinde
Which stormy is; as men it finde;
Ferst makth the wyndes forto blowe;
And after that withinne a throwe
He reyneth and the watergates
Undoth; 〃and thus my wif algates;  690
Which is with reson wel besein;
Hath mad me bothe wynd and rein
After the Sesoun of the yer。〃
And thanne he sette him nerr the fer;
And as he mihte hise clothes dreide;
That he nomore o word ne seide;
Wherof he gat him somdel reste;
For that him thoghte was the beste。
I not if thilke ensample yit
Acordeth with a mannes wit;  700
To soffre as Socrates tho dede:
And if it falle in eny stede
A man to lese so his galle;
Him oghte among the wommen alle
In loves Court be juggement
The name bere of Pacient;
To yive ensample to the goode
Of pacience how that it stode;
That othre men it mihte knowe。
And; Sone; if thou at eny throwe   710
Be tempted ayein Pacience;
Tak hiede upon this evidence;
It schal per cas the lasse grieve。
Mi fader; so as I believe;
Of that schal be no maner nede;
For I wol take so good hiede;
That er I falle in such assai;
I thenke eschuie it; if I mai。
Bot if ther be oght elles more
Wherof I mihte take lore;    720
I preie you; so as I dar;
Now telleth; that I mai be war;
Som other tale in this matiere。
Sone; it is evere good to lere;
Wherof thou miht thi word restreigne;
Er that thou falle in eny peine。
For who that can no conseil hyde;
He mai noght faile of wo beside;
Which schal befalle er he it wite;
As I finde in the bokes write。  730
Yit cam ther nevere good of strif;
To seche in all a mannes lif:
Thogh it beginne on pure game;
Fulofte it torneth into grame
And doth grevance upon som side。
Wherof the grete Clerk Ovide
After the lawe which was tho
Of Jupiter and of Juno
Makth in his bokes mencioun
How thei felle at dissencioun   740
In manere as it were a borde;
As thei begunne forto worde
Among hemself in privete:
And that was upon this degree;
Which of the tuo more amorous is;
Or man or wif。 And upon this
Thei mihten noght acorde in on;
And toke a jugge therupon;
Which cleped is Tiresias;
And bede him demen in the cas;  750
And he withoute avisement
Ayein Juno yaf juggement。
This goddesse upon his ansuere
Was wroth and wolde noght forbere;
Bot tok awey for everemo
The liht fro bothe hise yhen tuo。
Whan Jupiter this harm hath sein;
An other bienfait therayein
He yaf; and such a grace him doth;
That for he wiste he seide soth;   760
A Sothseiere he was for evere:
Bot yit that other were levere;
Have had the lokinge of his yhe;
Than of his word the prophecie;
Bot how so that the sothe wente;
Strif was the cause of that he hente
So gret a peine bodily。
Mi Sone; be thou war ther by;
And hold thi tunge stille clos:
For who that hath his word desclos    770
Er that he wite what he mene;
He is fulofte nyh his tene
And lest ful many time grace;
Wher that he wolde his thonk pourchace。
And over this; my Sone diere;
Of othre men; if thou miht hiere
In privete what thei have wroght;
Hold conseil and descoevere it noght;
For Cheste can no conseil hele;
Or be it wo or be it wele:   780
And tak a tale into thi mynde;
The which of olde ensample I finde。
Phebus; which makth the daies lihte;
