184. Every One Finds His Match

[_]

A. Harley MS. 2251

There is non so wise a Man But he may wisdam leere,
And ther is none so stronge a man But he may fynde his peere,
Nor there is none so false a man But sum man wil hym leeve,
And there is none so meke a man But sum man may hym greve.
[_]

B. Trinity Coll. Cambridge MS. 1157


There is no man so myghty but som man may hym dere,
Nor no man so witte but some man may hym lere,
Nor no man is so variaunt but som man wil hym leve,
Nor no man is so pacient but some man may hym greve.
