'Trewly,' quod she, 'that is sothe, so thou con wel kepe these wordes, and in the in[ne]rest secrè chambre of thyne herte so faste hem close that they never flitte; than shalt thou fynde hem 95 avayling. Loke now what people hast thou served; whiche of hem al in tyme of thyne exile ever thee refresshed, by the valewe of the leste coyned plate that walketh in money? Who was sory, or made any rewth for thy disese? If they hadden getten their purpose, of thy misaventure sette they nat an hawe. Lo, whan 100 thou were emprisonned, how faste they hyed in helpe of thy deliveraunce! I wene of thy dethe they yeve but lyte. They loked after no-thing but after their owne lustes. And if thou liste say the sothe, al that meyny that in this +brige thee broughten, lokeden rather after thyne helpes than thee to have releved. 105 Owen nat yet some of hem money for his commens? Paydest nat thou for some of her dispences, til they were tourned out of Selande? Who yave thee ever ought for any rydinge thou madest? Yet, pardè, some of hem token money for thy chambre, and putte tho pens in his purse, unwetinge of the renter. 110 Lo for which a company thou medlest, that neither thee ne them-selfe mighten helpe of unkyndnesse; now they bere the name that thou supposest of hem for to have. What might thou more have don than thou diddest, but-if thou woldest in a fals quarel have been a stinkinge martyr? I wene thou fleddest, as 115 longe as thou might, their privitè to counsayle; which thing thou hele[de]st lenger than thou shuldest. And thilke that ought thee money no penny wolde paye; they wende thy returne hadde ben an impossible. How might thou better have hem proved, but thus in thy nedy diseses? Now hast thou ensaumple for whom thou 120 shalt meddle; trewly, this lore is worth many goodes.' CH. VII. 2. Fayne. 3. haste. 4. -thynge. 7. Yea. Howe. 9. wyste. amongest. greatest. 14.
