For in proverbe and in probleme
Sche spak, and bad he scholde deme
In many soubtil question:[1644]
Bot he for no suggestioun
Which toward him sche couthe stere,
He wolde noght o word ansuere,
Bot as a madd man ate laste[1645]
His heved wepende awey he caste,
And half in wraththe he bad hire go.
Bot yit sche wolde noght do so, 1690
