8. Praise of Women
NO thyng ys to man so dere | |
As wommanys love in gode manere. | |
A gode womman is mannys blys, | |
There her love right and stedfast ys. | |
There ys no solas under hevene | 5 |
Of alle that a man may nevene | |
That shulde a man so moche glew | |
As a gode womman that loveth true. | |
Ne derer is none in Goddis hurde | |
Than a chaste womman with lovely worde. | 10 |
