Gower, John

Poetry

Quo creuit reliquis error in orbe magis:                          1230
  Nam sine pastore grex est dispersus, et ecce
  Pascua peccati querit vbique noui.

       *       *       *       *       *

1221-1232. _Text_ STH₂ _As follows in_ CEHGDL,

  Nunc quia sic Cleri sors errat ab ordine Cristi,
  Vsurpat mundus que negat ipse deus.
    Dum tua, Burnelle, scola sit communis in orbe,
  A planta capiti fallitur omnis ibi:
  Sed cum Gregorii scola fulsit in orbe beati,[458]
  Vera fides viguit, cunctaque pace tulit.
  Nunc tamen est Arius nouus, est quasi Iouinianus,
  Doctor in ecclesiis scisma mouendo scolis.
  Sic vbi lux, tenebre, sic mors, vbi regula vite
  Instrueret rectam gentibus ire viam.                             1230*
  Quilibet ergo bonus, sit miles siue Colonus,
  Orans pro Clero det sua vota deo.
