Bot al was set to the comune。
Thei spieken thanne of no fortune
Or forto lese or forto winne;
Til Avarice broghte it inne;
And that was whan the world was woxe
Of man; of hors; of Schep; of Oxe;    10
And that men knewen the moneie。
Tho wente pes out of the weie
And werre cam on every side;
Which alle love leide aside
And of comun his propre made;
So that in stede of schovele and spade
The scharpe swerd was take on honde;
And in this wise it cam to londe;
Wherof men maden dyches depe
And hyhe walles forto kepe   20
The gold which Avarice encloseth。
Bot al to lytel him supposeth;
Thogh he mihte al the world pourchace;
For what thing that he may embrace
Of gold; of catel or of lond;
He let it nevere out of his hond;
Bot get him more and halt it faste;
As thogh the world scholde evere laste。
So is he lych unto the helle;
For as these olde bokes telle;  30
What comth therinne; lasse or more;
It schal departe neveremore:
Thus whanne he hath his cofre loken;
It schal noght after ben unstoken;
Bot whanne him list to have a syhte
Of gold; hou that it schyneth brihte;
That he ther on mai loke and muse;
For otherwise he dar noght use
To take his part; or lasse or more。
So is he povere; and everemore  40
Him lacketh that he hath ynowh:
An Oxe draweth in the plowh;
Of that himself hath no profit;
A Schep riht in the same plit
His wolle berth; bot on a day
An other takth the flees away:
Thus hath he; that he noght ne hath;
For he therof his part ne tath。
To seie hou such a man hath good;
Who so that reson understod;    50
It is impropreliche seid;
For good hath him and halt him teid;
That he ne gladeth noght withal;
Bot is unto his good a thral;
And as soubgit thus serveth he;
Wher that he scholde maister be:
Such is the kinde of thaverous。
Mi Sone; as thou art amerous;
Tell if thou farst of love so。
Mi fader; as it semeth; no;  60
That averous yit nevere I was;
So as ye setten me the cas:
For as ye tolden here above;
In full possession of love
Yit was I nevere hier tofore;
So that me thenketh wel therfore;
I mai excuse wel my dede。
Bot of mi will withoute drede;
If I that tresor mihte gete;
It scholde nevere be foryete;   70
That I ne wolde it faste holde;
Til god of love himselve wolde
That deth ous scholde part atuo。
For lieveth wel; I love hire so;
That evene with min oghne lif;
If I that swete lusti wif
Mihte ones welden at my wille;
For evere I wolde hire holde stille:
And in this wise; taketh kepe;
If I hire hadde; I wolde hire kepe;   80
And yit no friday wolde I faste;
Thogh I hire kepte and hielde faste。
Fy on the bagges in the kiste!
I hadde ynogh; if I hire kiste。
For certes; if sche were myn;
I hadde hir levere than a Myn
Of Gold; for al this worldesriche
Ne mihte make me so riche
As sche; that is so inly good。
I sette noght of other good;    90
For mihte I gete such a thing;
I hadde a tresor for a king;
And thogh I wolde it faste holde;
I were thanne wel beholde。
Bot I mot pipe nou with lasse;
And suffre that it overpasse;
Noght with mi will; for thus I wolde
Ben averous; if that I scholde。
Bot; fader; I you herde seie
Hou thaverous hath yit som weie;   100
Wherof he mai be glad; for he
Mai whanne him list his tresor se;
And grope and fiele it al aboute;
Bot I fulofte am schet theroute;
Ther as my worthi tresor is。
So is mi lif lich unto this;
That ye me tolden hier tofore;
Hou that an Oxe his yock hath bore
For thing that scholde him noght availe:
And in this wise I me travaile;    110
For who that evere hath the welfare;
I wot wel that I have the care;
For I am hadd and noght ne have;
And am; as who seith; loves knave。
Nou demeth in youre oghne thoght;
If this be Avarice or noght。
Mi Sone; I have of thee no wonder;
Thogh thou to serve be put under
With love; which to kinde acordeth:
Bot; so as every bok recordeth;    120
It is to kinde no plesance
That man above his sustienance
Unto the gold schal serve and bowe;
For that mai no reson avowe。
Bot Avarice natheles;
If he mai geten his encress
Of gold; that wole he serve and kepe;
For he takth of noght elles kepe;
Bot forto fille hise bagges large;
And al is to him bot a charge;  130
For he ne parteth noght withal;
Bot kepth it; as a servant schal:
And thus; thogh that he multeplie
His gold; withoute tresorie
He is; for man is noght amended
With gold; bot if it be despended
To mannes us; wherof I rede
A tale; and tak therof good hiede;
Of that befell be olde tyde;
As telleth ous the clerk Ovide。    140
Bachus; which is the god of wyn;
Acordant unto his divin
A Prest; the which Cillenus hihte;
He hadde; and fell so that be nyhte
This Prest was drunke and goth astraied;
Wherof the men were evele apaied
In Frigelond; where as he wente。
Bot ate laste a cherl him hente
With strengthe of other felaschipe;
So that upon his drunkeschipe   150
Thei bounden him with chenes faste;
And forth thei ladde him als so faste
Unto the king; which hihte Myde。
Bot he; that wolde his vice hyde;
This courteis king; tok of him hiede;
And bad that men him scholde lede
Into a chambre forto kepe;
Til he of leisir hadde slepe。
And tho this Prest was sone unbounde;
And up a couche fro the grounde    160
To slepe he was leid softe ynowh;
And whanne he wok; the king him drowh
To his presence and dede him chiere;
So that this Prest in such manere;
Whil that him liketh; there he duelleth:
And al this he to Bachus telleth;
Whan that he cam to him ayein。
And whan that Bachus herde sein
How Mide hath don his courtesie;
Him thenkth it were a vilenie;  170
Bot he rewarde him for his dede;
So as he mihte of his godhiede。
Unto this king this god appiereth
And clepeth; and that other hiereth:
This god to Mide thonketh faire
Of that he was so debonaire
Toward his Prest; and bad him seie:
What thing it were he wolde preie;
He scholde it have; of worldes good。
This king was glad; and stille stod;  180
And was of his axinge in doute;
And al the world he caste aboute;
What thing was best for his astat;
And with himself stod in debat
Upon thre pointz; the whiche I finde
Ben lievest unto mannes kinde。
The ferste of hem it is delit;
The tuo ben worschipe and profit。
And thanne he thoghte; 〃If that I crave
Delit; thogh I delit mai have;  190
Delit schal passen in myn age:
That is no siker avantage;
For every joie bodily
Schal ende in wo: delit forthi
Wol I noght chese。 And if worschipe
I axe and of the world lordschipe;
That is an occupacion
Of proud ymaginacion;
Which makth an herte vein withinne;
Ther is no certain forto winne;    200
For lord and knave al is o weie;
Whan thei be bore and whan thei deie。
And if I profit axe wolde;
I not in what manere I scholde
Of worldes good have sikernesse;
For every thief upon richesse
Awaiteth forto robbe and stele:
Such good is cause of harmes fele。
And also; thogh a man at ones
Of al the world withinne his wones    210
The tresor myhte have everydel;
Yit hadde he bot o mannes del
Toward himself; so as I thinke;
Of clothinge and of mete and drinke;
For more; outake vanite;
Ther hath no lord in his degre。〃
And thus upon the pointz diverse
Diverseliche he gan reherce
What point hi
