Outake that him lacketh reule
His oghne astat to guide and reule;
P. ii. 367
How so it stod of his spekinge,
He was noght wys in his doinge.7130*
Bot every riot ate laste
Mot nedes falle and mai noght laste:
After the meede of his decerte,
So fell this clerk into poverte
And wiste noght how forto ryse;
