To make his lige men ben esed;[1841]

Wherfore that his Croniqe schal

For evere be memorial

To the loenge of that he doth.[1842]

For this wot every man in soth,

What king that so desireth pes,[1843]

He takth the weie which Crist ches:3030*

And who that Cristes weies sueth,

It proveth wel that he eschueth

The vices and is vertuous,[1844]
