Wherof the lief is after loth And love hath cause to be wroth. Bot what man that his lust desireth Of love, and therupon conspireth With wordes feigned to deceive, He schal noght faile to receive His peine, as it is ofte sene. [Sidenote: Confessor.[346]] Forthi, my Sone, as I thee mene, 1210 It sit the wel to taken hiede That thou eschuie of thi manhiede Ipocrisie and his semblant, That thou ne be noght deceivant, To make a womman to believe Thing which is noght in thi bilieve:[347] For in such feint Ipocrisie Of love is al the tricherie, [Sidenote: =P. i. 83=] Thurgh which love is deceived ofte; For feigned semblant is so softe, 1220 Unethes love may be war. Forthi, my Sone, as I wel dar, I charge thee to fle that vice, That many a womman hath mad nice; Bot lok thou dele noght withal. [Sidenote: Amans.] Iwiss, fader, nomor I schal. [Sidenote: Confessor.] Now, Sone, kep that thou hast swore: For this that thou hast herd before Is seid the ferste point of Pride: And next upon that other side, 1230 To schryve and speken overthis Touchende of Pride, yit ther is The point seconde, I thee behote, Which Inobedience is hote. [Sidenote: [ii. INOBEDIENCE.]] vi. _Flectere quam frangi melius reputatur, et olle_ _Fictilis ad cacabum pugna valere nequit._ _Quem neque lex hominum, neque lex diuina valebit_ _Flectere, multociens corde reflectit amor._[348] _Quem non flectit amor, non est flectendus ab vllo,_ _Set rigor illius plus Elephante riget._ _Dedignatur amor poterit quos scire rebelles,_ _Et rudibus sortem prestat habere rudem;_ _Set qui sponte sui subicit se cordis amore,_ _Frangit in aduersis omnia fata pius._ (10)
