That scholde make a man to falle 1620

Fro love, that nevere afterward

Ne durste he loke thiderward.

P. i. 334

In harde weies men gon softe,

And er thei clymbe avise hem ofte:

Men sen alday that rape reweth;

And who so wicked Ale breweth,

Fulofte he mot the werse drinke:

Betre is to flete than to sincke;
