chaucer - a ballad of gentleness - ghizela rowe lyrics

Loading...

the firste stock*father of gentleness
what man desireth gentle for to be
must follow his trace, and all his wittes dress
virtue to love, and vices for to flee;
for unto virtue longeth dignity
and not the reverse, safely dare i deem
all wear he mitre, crown, or diademe

this firste stock was full of righteousness
true of his word, sober, pious, and free
clean of his ghost, and loved business
against the vice of sloth, in honesty;
and, but his heir love virtue as did he
he is not gentle, though he riche seem
all wear he mitre, crown, or diademe

vice may well be heir to old richess
but there may no man, as men may well see
bequeath his heir his virtuous n0bless;
that is appropried to no degree
but to the first father in majesty
which makes his heire him that doth him queme
all wear he mitre, crown, or diademe
