God help me so, for he shall never thé 4640 (But I will not avowë 4641 that I say, And therefore keep it secret, I you pray); He is too wise, in faith, as I believe. Thing that is overdone, it will not preve 4642 Aright, as clerkës say; it is a vice; Wherefore in that I hold him lew’d 4643 and nice. 4644 For when a man hath over great a wit, Full oft him happens to misusen it; So doth my lord, and that me grieveth sore. God it amend; I can say now no more.”
