For Male-bouche, and for false Envye:

85

The whiche twayne ay stondeth in my wey

Maliciously; and Fals Suspeccioun

Is very causë also that I dey,

Ginning and rote of my distruccioun;

So that I fele, [as] in conclusioun,

90

With hir traynes that they wol me shende,

Of my labour that deth mot make an ende!
