What Is Better Than Wisdom? Woman. And

Til That The Brighte Sonne Loste His Hewe; For Th'orisonte Hath Reft The Sonne His Lyght; This Is As Muche To Seye As It Was Nyght!

For Tyme Ylost May Nought Recovered Be.

Trouthe Is The Hyest Thyng That Man May Kepe.

There's No Workman, Whatsoever He Be, That May Both Work Well And Hastily.

Soun Is Noght But Air Ybroken, And Every Speche That Is Spoken, Loud Or Privee, Foul Or Fair, In His Substaunce Is But Air; For As Flaumbe Is But Lighted Smoke, Right So Soun Is Air Ybroke.
