[435] I speak this for the sin of superfluity, and not for reasonable decent array, when reason requires it. And lo, what says Seneca in this matter? God knows, desire to have commendation also of the people has caused death to many a busy man. This virtue has many species; and the first is called magnanimity, that is to say, great valor. The second is to choose the lowest place of all. Flatterers are the devils chaplains, that sing ever "Placebo [I shall please]." I say not that decency in clothing of man or woman is unseemly, but certainly the superfluity or excessive scarcity of clothing is blameworthy. And therefore understand that both he that sells and he that buys things spirituals are called simoniacs, be it by riches, be it by procuring an office for someone, or by worldly prayer of his friends, worldly friends or spiritual friends: [785] Worldly in two manners; as by kinship, or other friends. Man should conduct himself to his wife in faith, in truth, and in love, as says Saint Paul, that a man should love his wife as Christ loved holy church, who loved it so well that he died for it. lawful pleasure in reverence to Christ as I am able. [400] Elation is when he can tolerate having neither master nor fellow. And bathed each vein with liquor that has power . [230] "This knowledge," as says Saint Augustine, "makes a man to lament in his heart. Now will I speak of lies, which generally is false significance of a word, in intent to deceive one's fellow-Christian. Download 3. [430] Now, as of the outrageous array of women, God knows that though the visages of some of them seem very chaste and meek, yet they make known in their display of attire lechery and pride. Homicide is also if a man approaches to a woman by desire of lechery, through which the child is killed, or else smites a woman wittingly, through which she loses their child. The text referred to throughout is Nevill Coghill’s translation of The Canterbury Tales into modern English (London: Penguin, 2003). Against this Christ suffered very patiently, when he was despoiled of all that he had in this life, and that was nothing but his clothes. Whatever you may be, do not break Saint Augustine desires that abstinence be done for virtue and with patience. [150] And therefore says Saint Augustine: "If thou hast disdain of thy servant, if he do wrong or sin, have thou then disdain that thou thyself should do sin." Certainly, then is love the medicine that casts out the venom of Envy from man's heart. For as Saint Jerome says, "At every time that I remember the day of doom I quake; The fourth point that ought to make a man to have contrition is the sorrowful remembrance of the good that he has failed to do here in earth, and also the good that he has lost. some great matter indeed. Note also what says Saint Paul of Gluttony: "Many," says Saint Paul, "go, of which I have often said to you, and now I say it weeping, that are the enemies of the cross of Christ; of which the end is death, and of which their belly is their god, and their glory in ruin of them that so savor earthly things." For certainly, no more can maidenhood be restored than an arm that is cut from the body can return again to grow. plan is almost fulfilled. 55         "But nathelees, this meditacioun                   "But nonetheless, this meditation 56         I putte it ay under correccioun                   I put it ever subject to correction 57         Of clerkes, for I am nat textueel;                   By clerks, for I am not learned in texts; 58         I take but the sentence, trusteth weel. Then comes accusing, as when man seeks occasion to annoy his neighbor, which is like the craft of the devil, that waits both night and day to accuse us all. Explicit prima pars Penitentie; Et sequitur secunda pars eiusdem. Patience, that is another remedy against Anger, is a virtue that suffers sweetly every man's goodness, and is not angry for any harm that is done to him. Also the true confession requires certain conditions. But nonetheless, if that another man be occasion or enticer of his sin, or the state of a person be such through which his sin is aggravated, or else that he may not completely confess himself unless he tell the person with whom he has sinned, then may he tell it, provided that his intent be not to backbite the person, but only to declare his confession. In truth, sin is in two manners; it is either venial or deadly sin. Who tells this tale to us pleasingly. This sin is very great and ever increases according to the wicked intent of the backbiter. The Parson’s Tale is unusual among these in that it is cast within a fictional framework. Another sin pertains to lechery, that comes in sleeping, and this sin comes often to them that are maidens, and also to them that are corrupt; and this sin men call pollution, that comes in four manners. Thou shouldest well conclude a long discourse. Such aforesaid folk strangle spiritually their lordships; for which thus says David the prophet: "Wicked death must come upon these lordships, and God grant that they must descend into hell all down, for in their houses are iniquities and wicked deeds and not God of heaven." Spiritual theft is sacrilege; that is to say, hurting of holy things, or of things sacred to Christ, in two manners: because of the holy place, as churches or churchyards, for which every churlish sin that men do in such places may be called sacrilege, or every violence in the similar places; also, they that withhold falsely the rights that belong to holy church. ed. And certainly, if a wife could keep herself all chaste by permission of her husband, so that she never give any occasion that he do wrong, it would be to her a great merit. Four of the clock it was then, as I suppose, Of such feet as if my height were divided. Lo, what says Solomon: "Whoever would in the morning awaken and seek me, he shall find." Now shall men understand that, although it be so that no earthly man can eschew all venial sins, yet can he restrain himself by the burning love that he has to our Lord Jesus Christ, and by prayers and confession and other good works, so that it shall but little grieve. [240] For certainly, in the doing of the deadly sin, there is no trust to no good work that we have done before; that is to say, as for to have thereby the life eternal in heaven. 6o. And forasmuch as they give where they should not give, to them appertains that curse that Christ shall give at the day of doom to them that shall be damned. For by this disorderliness of sinful man was Jesus Christ first betrayed, and after that was he bound, he who came to unbind us of sin and pain. This condition of bitterness has five signs. And this man was Adam, by whom sin entered into this world, when he broke the commandments of God. There needs no examples of this; the experience of day by day ought suffice. (An interlinear translationof The Parson's Prologue is available for students reading this text for the first time.) And, as says Solomon, "It is a sign of clear folly.". And also a man must accuse himself of his own trespass, and not another; but he shall blame and reproach himself and his own malice of his sin, and none other. [980] For understand well that after the time that a man has befouled his baptism by sin, if he will come to salvation, there is no other way but by penitence and confession and satisfaction, and namely by the two, if there be a confessor to which he may confess himself, and the third, if he have life to perform it. Such cursing bereaves man from the reign of God, as says Saint Paul. He was a good man, a person … Now, as for to speak of the first covetousness, that is concupiscence, according to the law of our members that were lawfully made and by righteous judgment of God, I say, forasmuch as man is not obedient to God, who is his lord, therefore is the flesh to him disobedient through concupiscence, which yet is called nourishing of sin and occasion of sin. And if he reprove him uncharitably of sin, as "thou lecher," "thou drunken rascal," and so forth, then appertains that to the rejoicing of the devil, who ever has joy that men do sin. [The remedy against the sin of Anger follows]. This is to say, thou shalt swear truth, for every lie is against Christ; for Christ is true truth. There is a sort of tree [juniper], as says Saint Isidore (of Seville), that when men make fire of this tree and cover the coals of it with ashes, truly the fire of it will last a full year or more. [865] Of Lechery, as I said, arise diverse species, as fornication, that is betwixt man and woman that are not married, and this is deadly sin and against nature. [425] And if so be that they divide their hoses in other colors, as is white and black, or white and blue, or black and red, and so forth, then seems it, as by variance of color, that half the part of their private members were corrupt by the fire of Saint Anthony (inflamation of the skin), or by cancer, or by other such mischance. One of them is solemn, another is common, and the third is private. Now since man understands generally what is venial sin, then is it appropriate to tell specially of sins which many a man by chance deems them not sins, and shrives him not of the same things, and yet nonetheless they are sins truly, as these clerks write; this is to say, that at every time that a man eats or drinks more than suffices to the sustenance of his body, in certain he does sin. It was then four o’clock, as I calculate; for my shadow there was The hand of God is mighty in confession, for thereby God forgives thee thy sins, for he alone has the power. And for they shall have no hope to escape, says Saint Job at the last that "there shall horror and grisly dread dwell without end." And thus the courteous Lord Jesus Christ wishes that no good work be lost, for to some degree it shall help. Certainly, the sword that men give first to a knight, when he is newly dubbed, signifies that he should defend holy church, and not rob it nor pillage it; and whosoever does is traitor to Christ. Certainly, this is horrible sin. "Deadly sin," as says Saint Augustine, "is when a man turns his heart from God, which is true perfect goodness, that can not change, and gives his heart to thing that can change and pass away." He that is accustomed to this sin of gluttony, he can no sin withstand. First, that thou confess thyself by thy free will, not constrained, nor for public shame, nor for illness, nor such things. 5         Foure of the clokke it was tho, as I gesse,                   Four of the clock it was then, as I suppose, 6         For ellevene foot, or litel moore or lesse,                   For eleven feet, or little more or less, 7         My shadwe was at thilke tyme, as there                   My shadow was there at that same time, 8         Of swiche feet as my lengthe parted were                   Of such feet as if my height were divided 9         In sixe feet equal of proporcioun. And hearken this example. The measure of Chaucer’s unease with what he created is seen both in the Parson’s Prologue and Tale and in his Retractions, which circulate with most copies of the Canterbury Tales. Then comes scorning of his neighbor, although he does never so well. I know well there is degree above degree, as is consonant with reason, and it is reasonable that men do their duty where it is due, but certainly, extortions and scorn for your underlings is damnable. (The section on) Lechery follows. The first thing is this nourishing of sin of which I spoke before, this fleshly concupiscence. That I will be subject to correction." But let us go now to this horrible swearing of exorcism and conjuring spirits, as do these false enchanters or necromancers in basins full of water, or in a bright sword, in a circle, or in a fire, or in a shoulder-bone of a sheep. [575] Also if a woman by negligence lies upon her child in her sleeping, it is homicide and deadly sin. "Abstinence," he says, "is worth little unless a man have good will thereto, and unless it be strengthened by patience and by charity, and that men do it for God's sake, and in hope to have the bliss of heaven.". And may Jesus, by his grace, grant me the And also when he speaks more than it needs, it is sin. Thus shall man hope, for his works of penance that God shall give him his reign, as he promises him in the gospel. First, it must be in sorrowful bitterness of heart, as said the king Hezekiah to God, "I will remember all the years of my life in bitterness of my heart." More than nine and twenty degrees in altitude. First, that thou confess thyself by thy free will, not constrained, nor for public shame, nor for illness, nor such things. Impatient is he who will not be taught nor reproved for his vice, and by strife wages war on truth wittingly, and defends his folly. [900] These priests, as says the book, know not the office of priesthood to the people, nor God they know not. First a man shall remind himself of his sins; but let him take care that this remembrance not be to him any delight in any way, but great shame and sorrow for his guilt. Now to speak of bodily pain, it consists of prayers, in keeping vigil, in fasts, in virtuous teachings of orisons. Man should love his wife by discretion, patiently and moderately, and then is she as though it were his sister. The fourth is elaborate preparation, with great intent to prepare and adorn his food. If bond-woman were taken in this sin, she should be beaten with staves to the death; and if she were a gentle woman, she should be slain with stones; and if she were a bishop's daughter, she should be burned, by God's commandment. Also when man disturbs conception of a child, and makes a woman either barren by drinking venomous herbs through which she can not conceive, or slays a child by drinks willfully, or else puts certain material things in her secret places to slay the child, or else does unnatural sin, by which man or woman sheds their nature (commits sodomy) in manner or in place where a child can not be conceived, or else if a woman have conceived, and hurts herself and slays the child, yet is it homicide. Men should also remind themselves of the shame that is to come at the day of doom to them that be not penitent and confessed in this present life. They considered themselves not satisfied, as says the book, by cooked meat that was offered to them, but they took by force the meat that is raw. [540] This Anger is with graciousness, and it is angry without bitterness; not angry against the man, but angry with the misdeed of the man, as says the prophet David, "Irascimini et nolite peccare" ["Be angry and do not sin.]" [185] "The darkness of death" are the sins that the wretched man has done, which prevent him from seeing the face of God, right as does a dark cloud betwixt us and the sun. For certainly, it seems that you think that the cursed Jews dismembered not enough the precious person of Christ, but you dismember him more. For, God knows, the flesh is a very great enemy to the soul, and therefore, the more that the body is whole, the more are we in peril to fall. She took one of the fruit of the tree, and ate it, and gave it to her husband, and he ate, and at once the eyes of them both opened. Certainly, he that is foolishly generous does not give his possessions, but he loses his possessions. The third circumstance is the place where thou hast done sin, whether in other men's house or in thine own, in field or in church or in churchyard, in church consecrated or not. Let us now touch on the vice of flattering, which comes not customarily but for dread or for covetousness. For he that has good friends is not poor; but there is no friend, [200] for neither God nor any creature shall be friend to them, and every one of them shall hate the other with deadly hate. Saint Ambrose says that Penitence is the complaining of a man for the guilt that he has done, and (his desire) no more to do any thing for which he ought to complain. [1055] Then is discipline also in knocking of thy breast, in whipping with sticks, in kneeling, in tribulations, in suffering patiently wrongs that are done to thee, and also in patient suffering of maladies, or losing of worldly possessions, or of wife, or of child, or other friends. "Covered with the darkness of death" -- that is to say, that he that is in hell shall have lack of the sight of God, for certainly the sight of God is the life eternal. After the sin of Envy and of Anger, now will I speak of the sin of Sloth. Saint John says that adulterers shall be in hell, in a pool burning of fire and of brimstone -- in fire for their lechery, in brimstone for the stink of their filth. -- for certainly, just as a sword parts a thing in two pieces, right so consenting parts God from man -- "`and then will I slay him with my hand in death of sin'; thus says the fiend." First by hate, as says Saint John: "He that hates his brother is an homicide." The Second Nun's Prologue | The Second Nun's Tale | The Canon's Yeoman's Prologue | The Canon's Yeoman's Tale. And therefore he put great pains against this sin in the old law. For right as a sow roots in every ordure, so roots she their beauty in the stinking ordure of sin. Let us then speak of chiding and reproach, which are very great wounds in man's heart, for they unravel the seams of friendship in man's heart. And so fare they; it seems to them that they are free and have no yoke, no more than has a bull that runs free and that takes whichever cow that he likes in the town. The first is when he puts other men before him. The first is to eat before time to eat. I say that sometimes contrition delivers a man from sin; of which David says, "I say," said David (that is to say, I purposed firmly) "to confess myself, and thou, Lord, set me free from my sin." The fifth is forgetfulness because of too much drinking, for which sometimes a man forgets ere the morning what he did at evening, or on the night before. The causes that ought to move a man to Contrition are six. And furthermore, the truth is that holy order is chief of all the treasury of God and his especial sign and mark of chastity is to show that they are joined to chastity, which is the most precious life that is. [350] Now shall you understand in what manner that sin waxes or increases in man. For if it were reasonable that a man should hate his enemy, truly God would not receive us that are his enemies to his love. Obedience generally is to perform the doctrine of God and of his superiors, to which him ought to be obedient in all righteousness. [The remedy against the sin of Envy.]. Certainly, an horrible homicide. The first is in intent of engendering of children to the service of God, for certainly that is the cause final of matrimony. 66. For certainly, insomuch as the sacrament of marriage is so noble and so worthy, so much is it greater sin to break it, for God made marriage in paradise, in the state of innocence, to multiply mankind to the service of God. Understand also that Adultery is set commonly in the ten commandments betwixt theft and manslaughter; for it is the greatest theft that may be, for it is theft of body and of soul. [740] Avarice, according to the description of Saint Augustine, is an inordinate desire in heart to have earthly things. [965] For if the church be sanctified, and man or woman spill his semen within that place by way of sin or by wicked temptation, the church is interdicted until it be reconciled by the bishop. That is a virtue through which a man has true knowledge of himself, and considers himself worthy of no esteem nor dignity, as in regard to his deserts, considering ever his frailty. For truly, Sloth is so tender and so delicate, as says Solomon, that he will not suffer any hardness nor penance, and therefore he ruins all that he does. He that observes one sin, shall he have forgiveness of the remnant of his other sins? What difference is betwixt an idolater and an avaricious man, but that an idolater, perhaps, has only one idol or two, and the avaricious man has many? [When Harry Bailey calls on the Parson for a final tale to fulfill "al myn ordinaunce, he demands And inasmuch as this love is the more grievous to perform, so much is the more great the merit; and therefore the loving of our enemy has confounded the venom of the devil. These scorners be equal partners with the devil; for they have joy when the devil wins and sorrow when he loses. Flattery is generally wrongful praising. And with that word he said in this manner. Have thou the stick, my dear son, and correct me for my impatience." [915] Now comes the remedy against Lechery, and that is generally chastity and continence, that restrains all the excessive inclinations that come of fleshly desires. Thus may you seen that the guilt, but not nature, deserves bondage." Now shall a man understand in which manner shall be his contrition. The narrator remarks upon how the sun has almost set and it is now four o'clock. For trust well, to love God is to love what he loves, and hate what he hates. Of the remedy of these two sins, as says the wise man, that "He that dreads God, he does not neglect to do what he ought to do." Sometimes grouching comes from avarice; as Judas grouched against the Magdalene when she anointed the head of our Lord Jesus Christ with her precious ointment. When a man is sharply admonished in his confession to abandon his sin, then will he be angry, and answer disdainfully and angrily, and defend or excuse his sin by the instability of his flesh; or else he did it in order to hold company with his fellows; or else, he says, the fiend enticed him; [585] or else he did it because of his youth; or else his temperament is so ardent that he can not abstain; or else it is his destiny, as he says, unto a certain age; or else, he says, it comes to him of gentility of his ancestors; and similar things. Now comes idle chattering, which may not be without sin. reproves those who depart from that which is true and tell fables and such In many ways the Parson's tale, of all the tales, relates best to the purpose of the pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral. Into six feet equal in size. [630] Lo, what says Saint Augustine: "There is nothing so like the devil's child as he that often chides." For truly, Sloth is so tender and so delicate, as says Solomon, that he will not suffer any hardness nor penance, and therefore he ruins all that he does. [175] Now truly, whoever will remind himself of these things, I guess that his sin shall not turn itself into delight, but to great sorrow for dread of the pain of hell. Flatterers are the devils nurses, that nourish his children with milk of deceit. The woman answered: "Of the fruit," said she, "of the trees in Paradise we feed us, but truly, of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of Paradise, God forbad us to eat, and not touch it, lest by chance we should die." A side-by-side No Fear translation of The Canterbury Tales General Prologue: Page 13. Certainly, he can not hide himself; he must come forth and show himself." The Parson's Prologue The sun has almost set and all the pilgrims but the Parson have told their tale. The Host says that the game is almost at an end: everyone has told his tale except for the Parson. Nay, for all the good works that he has wrought shall never be in remembrance, for he shall die in his sin. [700] Alas, can a man not remember the gospel of Saint Luke, 15, where Christ says that "as well shall there be joy in heaven upon one sinful man that does penitence, as upon ninety and nine righteous men that need no penitence." [340] And this thing can not fail as long as he lives. And greater fools are they that kiss in villainy, for that mouth is the mouth of hell; and namely these old aged lechers, yet will they kiss, though they can not do, and defile themselves. [975] The seventh circumstance is in what manner he has done his sin, or how she has allowed what folk have done to her. The Manciple’s Tale. [105] Common penance is what priests enjoin men commonly in certain cases, as to go perhaps naked in pilgrimages, or barefoot. So should a man for his wife, if it were need. Of the back part of their buttocks, it is very horrible to see. Remedium contra peccatum Invidie. For truly it seems to me by your look you should knit up Truly it is deadly sin; and yet, with sorrow, some folk will exert themselves to do more than to their appetite suffices. Pertinacity is when man defends his folly and trusts too much to his own wit. The remedy against Anger is a virtue that men call humility, that is meekness; and also another virtue, that men call patience or sufferance. [290] I will enter into him by my grace and sup with him," by the good works that he shall do, which works are the food of God; "and he shall sup with me" by the great joy that I shall give him. [135] And therefore says Ezekiel, "I will remember all the years of my life in the bitterness of my heart." Another state is the state of grace, in which state he is obliged to works of penitence. The first grievance is of wicked words. Tell us your meditation. Presumption is when a man undertakes an enterprise that he ought not do, or else that he can not do; and this is called presumption. Lo, what says God of them by the prophet Isaiah: that "under them shall be strewed maggots, and their covers shall be of worms of hell." Also to pride oneself in his strength of body, it is an high folly. Just so the sinful man who loves his sin, to him it seems that it is to him the most sweet of any thing; but from that time that he loves firmly our Lord Jesus Christ, and desires the life eternal, there is to him no thing more abominable. [470] Now certainly, for a man to pride himself in the goods of grace is also an outrageous folly, for this gift of grace that should have turned him to goodness and to medicine, turns him to venom and to ruin, as says Saint Gregory. The third is when men take too much beyond moderation. Then is it thus: that Contrition is the true sorrow that a man receives in his heart for his sins, with steadfast purpose to confess himself, and to do penance, and nevermore to do sin. In 1991, in partnership with the distributor Prologue… Against the first vice, he shall think that our life is in no security, and also that all the riches in this world are at risk and pass as a shadow on the wall; and, as says Saint Gregory, that it pertains to the great righteousness of God that never shall the pain stint of them that never would withdraw themselves from sin, voluntarily, but ever continue in sin; for that perpetual will to do sin shall they have perpetual pain. Flatterers are the devils nurses, that nourish his children with milk of deceit. The fourth is when, through the great abundance of his food, the humors in his body are out of balance. Certainly, then seems it they shall be tormented by the devil in hell, unless they do penitence. In this aforesaid devil's furnace where forge three scoundrels: Pride, that ever blows and increases the fire by chiding and wicked words; [555] then stands Envy and holds the hot iron upon the heart of man with a pair of long tongs of long rancor; and then stands the sin of Contentiousness, or strife and quarreling, and batters and forges by churlish reproving. And this vice comes of a false hope, that he thinks that he shall live long; but that hope fails very often. The fourth is elaborate preparation, with great intent to prepare and adorn his food. And therefore is the breaking thereof the more grievous; of which breaking come false heirs oftentimes, that wrongfully occupy folk's heritages. [805] Certainly, the avaricious man shows no pity nor mercy to the needy man, for he delights himself in the keeping of his treasure, and not in the rescuing nor relieving of his fellow-Christian. 67         Oure Hoost hadde the wordes for us alle;                   Our Host had the words for us all; 68         "Sire preest," quod he, "now faire yow bifalle! And if thou canst not visit the needy with thy person, visit him by thy message and by thy gifts. For certainly, fire can not come out of nothing, except if it were first in the same thing naturally, as fire is drawn out of flints with steel. Nay. [920] True effect of marriage cleanses fornication and replenishes holy church with good lineage, for that is the end of marriage; and it changes deadly sin into venial sin betwixt those that are wedded, and makes the hearts completely united of them that are wedded, as well as the bodies. Yet can the Parson’s sermon seem anything other than just another genre? Then comes idleness, that is the gate of all harms. I say that it shall be universal and total. [440] Or else, when these folk of low degree, such as these that hold inns, sustain the theft of their workers, and that is in many sorts of deceits. Now comes menace, that is an open folly, for he that often menaces, he threatens more than he can perform oftentimes. The fourth species is the intercourse of those that are of their relationship by blood, or of those that are related by marriage, or else with them with which their fathers or their kinsmen have dealt in the sin of lechery. 22         "Sire preest," quod he, "artow a vicary? Furthermore, her hymn to the Virgin Mary acts as a preview to the tale itself, which concerns the same type of hymn of praise, O Alma Redemptoris. Certainly, this is the foulest theft that may be, when a woman steals her body from her husband and gives it to her lecher to befoul her, and steals her soul from Christ and gives it to the devil.
