The worldes cause is wayted over-al;
205
Ther be the werres redy, to the fulle;
But Cristes owne cause in special,
Ther ben the swerdes and the speres dulle.
And with the sentence of the popes bulle
As for to doon the folk payën obeye,
210
The chirche is tourned al another weye.
It is wonder, above any mannes wit,
