ed. Morris 1866. vol. III. p. 144. is anoyful, algates it is no reproef in yevynge of juggement, ne of vengaunce takyng, whan it p. 145. is suffisaunt and resonable. And that schewed oure Lord Ihesu Crist by ensample, for whan that the womman that was itake in advoutrie, was brought in his presence to knowen what schulde be doon of hir persone, al be it that he wist him self what that he wolde answere, 5 yit wolde he not answere sodeynly, but he wolde have (p. 145) deliberacioun, and in the ground he wrot twyes. And by these causes we axe deliberacioun, and we schul thanne by the grace of God counseile the thing that schal be profy table". Upstarten thenne the yonge folkes, anoon at oones, and the moste parte of that companye han skorned these olde wise men, and bygonne to make noyse and sayden: "Right so as whil that iren is hoot men scholden smyte, right so schulde men wreke 10 here wronges, whil that thay ben freische and newe"; and with lowde vois thay cryde, "Werre, werre". Uproos tho oon of these olde wise, and with his hond made countenaunce that men schulde holde hem stille, and yiven him audience. "Lordyngs", quod he, "ther is ful many a man that crieth, "werre, werre", that wot ful litel what werre amounteth. Werre at his bygynnyng hath 15 so greet an entre and so large, that every wight may entre whan him liketh, and lightly fynde werre; but certes what ende schal falle therof, it is not lightly to knowe. For sothly whan that werre is oones bygonne, ther is ful many a child unbore of his mooder that schal sterve yong, bycause of thilke werre, or elles lyve in sorwe and deye in wrecchidnes: and therfore er that eny werre be bygonne, men moste have gret counseil and gret deliberacioun." And whan 20 this olde man wende to enforce his tale by resouns, wel neigh alle at oones bygonne thay to rise, for to breke his tale, and beden him ful ofte his wordes to abrigge. For sothly he that precheth to hem that liste not to heere his wordes, his sermoun hem anoyeth. For Ihesus p. 146. Sirac saith, that musik in wepyng is a (p. 146) noyous thing. This is to say, as moche avayleth to speke tofore folk to whiche his speche annoyeth, as it is to synge byfore hem whiche 25 that wepith. And whan this wise man saugh him wanted audience, al schamefast he sette him doun agayn. For Salamon saith, Ther as thou may have noon audience, enforce the not to speke. "I se wel", quod this wise man, "that the comune proverbe is soth, that good counseil wantith, whan it is most neede". Yit hadde this Melibeus in his counseil many folk, that prively in his eere counseled him certein thinges, and counseled him the contrarie in general audience.

III. p. 147. bonde likede for to seye, thanne axede sche of him licence for to speke, and sayde in this wise: "My lord", quod sche, "as to youre firste resoun, certes it may lightly be answered; for I say it is no foly to chaunge counsel whan the thing is chaungid, or elles whan the thing semeth otherwise than it was biforn. And moreover I say, though that ye han sworn and hight to 5 parforme youre emprise, and natheles ye wayve to parforme thilke same emprise by juste cause, men schulde not saye therfore that ye were a lyere, ne forsworn; for the book seith, that the p. 148. wise man maketh no lesyng, whan (p. 148) he torneth his corrage to the better. And al be it so, that youre emprise be establid and ordeyned by gret multitude of people, yet thar ye not accomplise thilke same ordinaunce but you like; for the trouthe of a thing, and the profyt, ben 10 rather founde in fewe folk that ben wise and ful of resoun, than by gret multitude of folk, ther every man crieth and clatereth what that him liketh; sothely such multitude is not honest. And to the secounde resoun, wher as ye sayn, that alle wommen ben wikke, save youre grace, certis ye despise alle wommen in this wise, and he that alle despysith, saith the book, alle despleseth. And Senec saith, Who so wil have sapience, schal no man desprayse, but he schal 15 gladly teche the science that he can, withoute presumpcioun or pryde; and suche thinges as he nought can, he schal not ben aschamed to lerne hem and enquere of lasse folk than him self. And, sire, that ther hath be ful many a good womman, maie lightly be proved; certes, sire, oure Lorde Ihesu Crist nolde nevere have descended to be borne of womman, if alle wommen hadde ben wikke. And after that, for the grete bounte that is in wommen, oure Lord 20 Ihesu Crist, whan he was risen fro deth to lyve, apperede rather to a womman than to his apostles. And though that Salamon say, he fond never good womman, it folwith nought therfore, that alle wommen ben wikke; for though that he fonde noone goode wommen, certes many another man hath founden many a womman ful goode and trewe. Or elles paraventure thentent p. 149. of Salamon was this, as in sovereyn bounte he fond no (p. 149) womman, this is to saye, that 25 ther is no wight that hath soverein bounte, save God aloone, as he him self recordeth in his Evaungelie. For ther nys no creature so good, that him ne wantith somwhat of the perfeccioun of God, that is his makere. Youre thridde resoun is this; ye seyn that if ye governede yow by counsel of me, it schulde seme that ye hadde yeve me the maystry and the lordschipe over youre persone. Sire, save youre grace, it is not so; for if so were that no man schulde be 30 counseiled but by hem that hadde maystrie and lordschipe of his persone, men wolde nought be counseiled so ofte; for sothly thilke man that axeth counseil of a purpos, yet hath he fre 1. likede. liked WR. axede. axed WR. 4. ihight, promised. 6 saye. say WR. p. 148. 7. he torneth his corrage = he torneth his mood Halliw.

And as to youre ferthe resoun, ther ye p. 149. sayn that the janglerie of wommen can hyde thinges that thay wot not of; as who saith, that a womman can nought hyde that that sche woot; sire, these wordes ben understonde of wommen that ben jangelers and wikke; of whiche wommen men sayn that thre thinges dryven a man out of his oughne hous; that is to saye, smoke, droppyng of reyn, and wikked wyfes. Of 5 suche wommen saith Salomon, that it were better to a man to dwelle in desert, than with a womman that is riotous. And, sire, by youre leve, that am not I; for ye han ful ofte assayed my grete silence and my grete pacience, and eek how wel that I can hyde and hele thinges that ben secrely to hyde. And sothly as to youre fyfte resoun, wher as ye sayn, that in wikkede counseil wommen venquisscheth men, God wot thilke resoun stont here (p. 150) in no stede; 10 for understondith now, ye axen counseil to do wickidnes; and if ye wile wirke wickidnes, and youre wyf restreyne thilke wicked purpos, and overcome you by resoun and by good counseil, certes youre wyf oweth rather be preised than yblamed. Thus schulde ye understonde the philosopher that seith, In wicked counseil wommen venquyschen her housbondes. And ther as ye blame alle wymmen and here resouns, I schal schewe by many resouns and ensamples that many 15 a womman hath ben ful good, and yit been, and here counseiles ful holsome and profitable, Eke some men han sayd, that the counseilyng of wommen is outher to dere, or to litel of pris. But al be it so, that ful many a womman is badde, and hir counseil vile and not worth, yet han men founde many a ful good womman, and ful discret and wys in counseilyng. Lo, Jacob, by counseil of his moder Rebecca, wan the blessyng of his fader Ysaak and the lordschipe of alle 20 his bretheren.

And ther sayde oones a clerk in tuo versus, What is better than gold? Jasper. And what is better than jasper? Wisedom. And what is better than wisedom? Womman. And what 5 is better than a good womman? No thing. And, sire, by many other resouns maye ye se, that many wommen ben goode, and eke here counseile goode and profitable. And therfore, if ye wile truste to my counseil, I schal restore you youre doughter hool and sound, and eek I wil doon you so moche, that ye schul have honour in this cause". Whan Melibe had herd these wordes of his wif Prudens, he seide thus: I se wel that the 10 word of Salomon is soth; he seith, that the wordes that ben spoken discretly by ordinaunce, been honycombes, for thay yeven swetnes to the soule, and holesomenesse to the body. And, wyf, bycause of thy swete wordes, and eek for I have assayed and proved thi grete sapiens and thi grete trouthe, I wil governe me by thy counseil in alle thinges". "Now, sire", quod dame Prudens, "and syn ye vouchen sauf to be governed by my counseilyng, 15 I wil enforme you how ye schul governe youre self, in ches yng of youre counseil.
