48. APUD. BIBL : VNIV : CANT : Off talys, and tryfuUes, many man tellys, Sume byn trew, and sum byn ellis, A man may dryfe foithe the day that long tyme dwellis Wyth harpyng and pipyng, and other mery spelHs, Wyth gle, and wyth game. Off a parson ze mowe here, In case that hit soth were, And of his brother that was hym dere, And louyd well same. The ton, was his fadirs eyre of hows & of lande, The tother, was a parson as I understande, A riche man wjis he, and a gode husbande, And knowen for a ...gode clerke thoro goddis sande, THE TALE OF THE BASYN. 199 And oyse was holde. The tother hade htuU thozt, Off husbandry cowth he nouzt, But alle his wyves will he crozt. A febull husbande was he on, as many ar on lyve, Alle his wyves biddyng he did it full ryve, Hit is an olde seid saw, I swere be seynt lyve, " Hit shalbe at the wyves will ifthehusbondethryve. " Bothe wythin, and wythoute, A wyfe that has an yvell tach, Thee of the husbond shalle have a smache, But zif he loke well abowte. Off that zong gentil man was a gret disese, Aftur a zere or two his wyfe he myzt not pleese, Mycull of his lande lay to this preests ese, Eche tauzt hym euer among how the katte did snese Rizt at hir owne wille.
