More quotes by William Langland

Help thi kynne, Crist bit (biddeth), for ther bygynneth charitie.

For whoso spareth the spring [switch] spilleth his children.

In preieres and penaunce putten hem manye,
Al for the love of Oure Lord lyveden ful streyte
In hope to have heveneriche blisse

And governeth alle goode virtues.

A fair feeld ful of folk fond I ther bitwene –
Of alle manere of men, the meene and the riche,
Werchynge and wandrynge as the world asketh.
