THE SHIP OF FOOLS – Introduction, by Sebastian Brant

THE SHIP OF FOOLS, INTRODUCTION

Knowledge of trouth, prudence, and iust symplicite hath vs clene left. For we set of them no store. Our Fayth is defyled loue, goodnes, and Pyte: honest maners nowe ar reputed of, no more. Lawyers ar lordes, but Justice is rent and tore. Or closed lyke a Monster within dores thre. For without mede, or money no man can hyr se. Al is disordered: Vertue hath no rewarde. Alas, compassion, and mercy bothe ar slayne. Alas, the stony hartys of pepyl ar so harde,that nought can constrayne theyr folyes to refrayne.

(Sebastian Brant)
