To telle of olde ensamples oght;

For al dai in experience

A man mai se thilke evidence 1900

Of faire wordes whiche he hiereth;

Bot yit the barge Envie stiereth[697]

And halt it evere fro the londe,

Wher Falssemblant with Ore on honde

It roweth, and wol noght arive,

Bot let it on the wawes dryve

In gret tempeste and gret debat,[698]
