Gower: / Here have you seen a mighty king / His child, I wis, to incest bring; / A better prince and benign lord, / That will prove awful both in deed and word. / Be quiet then as men should be, / Till he hath pass'd necessity. / I'll show you those in troubles reign, / Losing a mite, a mountain gain. / The good in conversation, / To whom I give my benison, / Is still at Tarsus, where each man / Thinks all is writ he speken can; / And, to remember what he does, / Build his statue to make him glorious: / But tidings to the contrary / Are brought your eyes; what need speak I?
