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;
