Wycliffe(i)
2 A good name is betere than preciouse oynementis; and the dai of deth is betere than the dai of birthe.
3 It is betere to go to the hous of morenyng, than to the hous of a feeste; for in that hous `of morenyng the ende of alle men is monestid, and a man lyuynge thenkith, what is to comynge.
4 Yre is betere than leiyyng; for the soule of a trespassour is amendid bi the heuynesse of cheer.
