Gower, John
Poetry
Hierafterward I thenke assaie: 3430
[Sidenote: =P. i. 158=]
Bot now forth over I beseche
That ye more of my schrifte seche.
[Sidenote: Confessor.]
Mi goode Sone, it schal be do:
Now herkne and ley an Ere to;
For as touchende of Prides fare,
Als ferforth as I can declare
In cause of vice, in cause of love,
That hast thou pleinly herd above,
So that ther is nomor to seie
Touchende of that; bot other weie 3440
Touchende Envie I thenke telle,
Which hath the propre kinde of helle,
Withoute cause to misdo[534]
Toward himself and othre also,
Hierafterward as understonde[535]
Thou schalt the spieces, as thei stonde.
=Explicit Liber Primus=
