 hym of the noyse of another man where as hit apperteyneth  
 not to hym 575 But ye knowe well that this dede that is to  
 saye my grief and my desire toucheth me right nygh / 576 and  
 therfore though I be wroth and inpacient it is no meruayll  
 577 And sauyng your grace I can not see that I shold gretly  
 harme me though I toke vengeance / 578 For I am richer and  
 more mighty than myn enemyes ben 579 & it is wel knowen that  
 by money and hauyng grete possessions ben al thinges of  
 this world gouerned . 580 And also salamon saith that alle  
 thise thinges obeyen to moneye . 581 Whan prudence had herde  
 her husbonde a vaunte hym of his ryches & of his moneye  
 dispreysyng the power of his enemyes she spack and said  
 in this wise / 582 Certes dere syre I graunte you that ye be riche  
 and myghty / 583 and that riches ben good to hem that haue  
 goten hem well and that wel can vse them / 584 For right as  
 the body of a man may not lyue withoute the soule / nomore  
 may the lyf withoute temporel goodes 585 And by richesse may  
 a man gete hym grete frendes / 586 And therfore saith pamphi  
 les yf an erlis doughter be riche he saith she may chese of a  
 thousand men whom she wil take to her husbonde . 587 For of  
 a thousand men one wil not forsake her 588 And this pam  
 philes saith also yf that thou be right happy that is to saye  
 yf thou be riche thou shalt fynde a grete nombre of felaws  
 and frendes . 589 and yf thy fortune change farewel frendship  
 and felawship590 for thou shalt be allone withoute ony com  
 panye / but yf hit be the companye of poure folk . 591 And yet  
 saith this pamphiles more ouer / that they that ben bonde &  
 thral of lignage shull be made worthy & noble by richesse .  
 592 And right so as by richesse ther comen many goodes / right
