Hom to his hous and that he nam
His gold out of his Purs; withinne
He fond his Ston also therinne;
Wherof for joie his herte pleide;
Unto his wif and thus he seide;
〃Lo; hier my gold; lo; hier mi Ston!〃
His wif hath wonder therupon;
And axeth him hou that mai be。
〃Nou be mi trouthe I not;〃 quod he;   5100
〃Bot I dar swere upon a bok;
That to my Marchant I it tok;
And he it hadde whan I wente:
So knowe I noght to what entente
It is nou hier; bot it be grace。
Forthi tomorwe in other place
I wole it fonde forto selle;
And if it wol noght with him duelle;
Bot crepe into mi purs ayein;
Than dar I saufly swere and sein;  5110
It is the vertu of the Ston。〃
The morwe cam; and he is gon
To seche aboute in other stede
His Ston to selle; and he so dede;
And lefte it with his chapman there。
Bot whan that he cam elleswhere;
In presence of his wif at hom;
Out of his Purs and that he nom
His gold; he fond his Ston withal:
And thus it fell him overal;    5120
Where he it solde in sondri place;
Such was the fortune and the grace。
Bot so wel may nothing ben hidd;
That it nys ate laste kidd:
This fame goth aboute Rome
So ferforth; that the wordes come
To themperour Justinian;
And he let sende for the man;
And axede him hou that it was。
And Bardus tolde him al the cas;   5130
Hou that the worm and ek the beste;
Althogh thei maden no beheste;
His travail hadden wel aquit;
Bot he which hadde a mannes wit;
And made his covenant be mouthe
And swor therto al that he couthe
To parte and yiven half his good;
Hath nou foryete hou that it stod;
As he which wol no trouthe holde。
This Emperour al that he tolde  5140
Hath herd; and thilke unkindenesse
He seide he wolde himself redresse。
And thus in court of juggement
This Adrian was thanne assent;
And the querele in audience
Declared was in the presence
Of themperour and many mo;
Wherof was mochel speche tho
And gret wondringe among the press。
Bot ate laste natheles    5150
For the partie which hath pleigned
The lawe hath diemed and ordeigned
Be hem that were avised wel;
That he schal have the halvendel
Thurghout of Adrianes good。
And thus of thilke unkinde blod
Stant the memoire into this day;
Wherof that every wysman may
Ensamplen him; and take in mynde
What schame it is to ben unkinde;  5160
Ayein the which reson debateth;
And every creature it hateth。
Forthi; mi Sone; in thin office
I rede fle that ilke vice。
For riht as the Cronique seith
Of Adrian; hou he his feith
Foryat for worldes covoitise;
Fulofte in such a maner wise
Of lovers nou a man mai se
Full manye that unkinde be:  5170
For wel behote and evele laste
That is here lif; for ate laste;
Whan that thei have here wille do;
Here love is after sone ago。
What seist thou; Sone; to this cas?
Mi fader; I wol seie Helas;
That evere such a man was bore;
Which whan he hath his trouthe suore
And hath of love what he wolde;
That he at eny time scholde  5180
Evere after in his herte finde
To falsen and to ben unkinde。
Bot; fader; as touchende of me;
I mai noght stonde in that degre;
For I tok nevere of love why;
That I ne mai wel go therby
And do my profit elles where;
For eny sped I finde there。
I dar wel thenken al aboute;
Bot I ne dar noght speke it oute;  5190
And if I dorste; I wolde pleigne;
That sche for whom I soffre peine
And love hir evere aliche hote;
That nouther yive ne behote
In rewardinge of mi servise
It list hire in no maner wise。
I wol noght say that sche is kinde;
And forto sai sche is unkinde;
That dar I noght; bot god above;
Which demeth every herte of love;  5200
He wot that on myn oghne side
Schal non unkindeschipe abide:
If it schal with mi ladi duelle;
Therof dar I nomore telle。
Nou; goode fader; as it is;
Tell me what thenketh you of this。
Mi Sone; of that unkindeschipe;
The which toward thi ladischipe
Thou pleignest; for sche wol thee noght;
Thou art to blamen of that thoght。    5210
For it mai be that thi desir;
Thogh it brenne evere as doth the fyr;
Per cas to hire honour missit;
Or elles time com noght yit;
Which standt upon thi destine:
Forthi; mi Sone; I rede thee;
Thenk wel; what evere the befalle;
For noman hath his lustes alle。
Bot as thou toldest me before
That thou to love art noght forswore;    5220
And hast don non unkindenesse;
Thou miht therof thi grace blesse:
And lef noght that continuance;
For ther mai be no such grevance
To love; as is unkindeschipe。
Wherof to kepe thi worschipe;
So as these olde bokes tale;
I schal thee telle a redi tale:
Nou herkne and be wel war therby;
For I wol telle it openly。   5230
Mynos; as telleth the Poete;
The which whilom was king of Crete;
A Sone hadde and Androchee
He hihte: and so befell that he
Unto Athenes forto lere
Was send; and so he bar him there;
For that he was of hih lignage;
Such pride he tok in his corage;
That he foryeten hath the Scoles;
And in riote among the foles    5240
He dede manye thinges wronge;
And useth thilke lif so longe;
Til ate laste of that he wroghte
He fond the meschief which he soghte;
Wherof it fell that he was slain。
His fader; which it herde sain;
Was wroth; and al that evere he mihte;
Of men of Armes he him dighte
A strong pouer; and forth he wente
Unto Athenys; where he brente   5250
The pleine contre al aboute:
The Cites stode of him in doute;
As thei that no defence hadde
Ayein the pouer which he ladde。
Eges; which was there king;
His conseil tok upon this thing;
For he was thanne in the Cite:
So that of pes into tretee
Betwen Mynos and Eges
Thei felle; and ben acorded thus;  5260
That king Mynos fro yer to yeere
Receive schal; as thou schalt here;
Out of Athenys for truage
Of men that were of myhti Age
Persones nyne; of whiche he schal
His wille don in special
For vengance of his Sones deth。
Non other grace ther ne geth;
Bot forto take the juise;
And that was don in such a wise;   5270
Which stod upon a wonder cas。
For thilke time so it was;
Wherof that men yit rede and singe;
King Mynos hadde in his kepinge
A cruel Monstre; as seith the geste:
For he was half man and half beste;
And Minotaurus he was hote;
Which was begete in a riote
Upon Pasiphe; his oghne wif;
Whil he was oute upon the strif    5280
Of thilke grete Siege at Troie。
Bot sche; which lost hath alle joie;
Whan that sche syh this Monstre bore;
Bad men ordeigne anon therfore:
And fell that ilke time thus;
Ther was a Clerk; on Dedalus;
Which hadde ben of hire assent
Of that hir world was so miswent;
And he made of his oghne wit;
Wherof the remembrance is yit;  5290
For Minotaure such an hous;
Which was so strange and merveilous;
That what man that withinne wente;
Ther was so many a sondri wente;
That he ne scholde noght come oute;
But gon amased al aboute。
And in this hous to loke and warde
Was Minotaurus put in warde;
That what lif that therinne cam;
Or man or beste; he overcam  5300
And slow; and fedde him therupon;
And in this wise many on
Out of Athenys for truage
Devoured weren in that rage。
For every yeer thei schope hem so;
Thei of Athenys; er thei go
Toward that ilke wofull chance;
As it was set in ordinance;
Upon fortune here lot thei caste;
