ABSTRACT
The Legende of Good Women 189 And for the stable herte, sadde and kynde, That in these wymmen men may al day fynde; Ther as they kaste hire herte, there it dwelleth. For wei I wot that Criste himselfe telleth, That in Israel, as wyde as is the londe, r88o Nat so grete feythe in al that londe he fonde, As in a woman; and this is no lye. And as for men, loketh which tirannye They doon al day,-assay hem whoso lyste, The trewest is ful brotil1 for to triste.
