Therfore, thou vache, leve thyn old wrecchednesse

Unto the worlde; leve now to be thral;

Crye him mercy, that of his hy goodnesse

25

Made thee of noght, and in especial

Draw unto him, and pray in general

For thee, and eek for other, hevenlich mede;

28

And trouthe shal delivere, hit is no drede.

Explicit Le bon counseill de G. Chaucer.
