PRAISE OF WOMEN by ROBERT MANNYNG

Poet Analysis

First Line: NO THYNG YS TO MAN SO DERE
Last Line: THAN A CHASTE WOMMAN WITH LOVELY WORDE.
Subject(s): WOMEN;
NO thyng ys to man so dere
As wommanys love in gode manere.
A gode womman is mannys blys,
There her love right and stedfast ys.
There ys no solas under hevene
Of alle that a man may nevene
That shulde a man so moche glew
As a gode womman that loveth true.
Ne derer is none in Goddis hurde
Than a chaste womman with lovely worde.
