Lo, what it is for to be reckëless And negligent, and trust on flattery. But ye that holdë this tale a follý, As of a fox, or of a cock or hen, Take the morality thereof, good men. For Saint Paul saith, That all that written is, To our doctríne 4430 it written is y-wis. 4431 Take the fruit, and let the chaff be still.

Now goodë God, if that it be thy will, As saith my Lord, 4432 so make us all good men; And bring us all to thy high bliss. Amen.
