Chaucerian and Other Pieces / Being a Supplement to the Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer

Knight, let thy dedes worship determyne;

Be rightwis, jugë, in saving thy name;

Rich, do almesse, lest thou lese blis with shame.

People, obey your king and the lawe;

Age, be thou ruled by good religioun;

Trew servant, be dredful, and keep thee under awe,

And thou, povre, fy on presumpcioun;

Inobedience to youth is utter distruccioun;

Remembre you how god hath set you, lo!
