7431   For he ne dredde hem not a-del.
7432   For when he saw hir faces wel,
7433   Alway in herte him thoughte so,
7434   He shulde knowe hem bothe two;
7435   For wel he knew Dame Abstinaunce
7436   But he ne knew not Constreynaunce.
7437   He knew nat that she was constrayned,
7438   Ne of her theves lyfe feyned,
7439   But wende she com of wil al free;
7440   But she com in another degree;
7441   And if of good wil she began,
7442   That wil was failed her [as] than.
7443   And Fals-Semblant had he seyn Als,
7444   But he knew nat that he was fals.
7445   Yet fals was he, but his falsnesse
7446   Ne coude he not espye, nor gesse;
7447   For semblant was so slye wrought,
7448   That falsnesse he ne espyed nought.
7449   But haddest thou knowen him beforn,
7450   Thou woldest on a boke have sworn,
7451   Whan thou him saugh in thilke Aray
7452   That he, that whylom was so gay,
7453   And of the daunce Ioly Robin,
7454   Was tho become a Iacobin.
