Housbondes meke, yonge, and fresshe abedde,
And grace t’overbyde hem that we wedde.

That wol nat be governed by hir wyves;
And olde and angry nigardes of dispence,
God sende hem sone verray pestilence.”

Al that he hadde and yive it to the poore,
And in swich wise folwe him and his fore:

And lordinges, by youre leve, that am nat I.”
