Ther is no myht which him may lette.

Bot what schal fallen ate laste,

The sothe can no wisdom caste, 40

P. i. 43

Bot as it falleth upon chance;

For if ther evere was balance

Which of fortune stant governed,

I may wel lieve as I am lerned

That love hath that balance on honde,

Which wol no reson understonde.
