***
thing that is seyd, is seyd; and forth it gooth,/ though him repente, or be him leef or looth./
he is his thral to whom that he hath sayd/ a tale, of which he is now ywel apayd./
my sone, be war, and be non auctor newe/ of tydinges, wheither they been false or trewe;/
wher so thou come, amonges hye or lowe,/ kepe wel thy tonge, and thenk upon the crowe.
[manciple's tale, l355-362]
ne nevere in al thy lif ne shaltou speke;/ thus shal men on a traytour been awreke.
thou, and thyn of-spryng, ever shul be blake/ ne nevere sweete noyse shul ye make
wher so thou come, amonges hye or lowe,/ kepe wel thy tonge, and thenk upon the crowe.
