No but the Lord kepith the citee; he wakith in veyn that kepith it.<sup>2</sup> It is veyn to you to rise bifore the liyt; rise ye after that ye han sete, that eten the breed of sorewe. Whanne he schal yyue sleep to his loued; lo!<sup>3</sup> the eritage of the Lord `is sones, the mede is the fruyt of wombe.⁴ As arowis ben in the hond of the miyti; so the sones of hem that ben schakun out.⁵ Blessid is the man, that hath fillid his desier of tho; he schal not be schent, whanne he schal speke to hise enemyes in the yate.
