RIBUTE TO A PRIEST A good man in the cleric garb was there, A village Priest poor in house and fare, But rich he was in holy thought and worlc. l le was withal a learned man, a clerlc That would Christ's very Gospel truly preach, And his parishioners devoutly teach. Benign he was and wondrous diligent, Full patient in adversity as sent From God, and he of this had lcnown his share. . . Wide was his parish, and houses far asunder, Yet failed he never, not for rain nor thunder, To visit in their siclcness and their woe The farthest in his parish, high and low, Upon his feet, a staff within his hand. By this example all might understand God's will should first be done and then be taught. To draw follc on to heaven by showing fair A good example was his daily care, But were there any person obstinate, Whether of lowly or of high estate, Fearless and lceen would his rebulce be hurled . . The lore of Christ, for love and not for pelf l'le taught, but first he followed it himself. 1 Us Goeffrey Chaucer. '5 N I page eleven I
