1. For he that wynketh whan he sholde see,
Al wilfully, God lat him nevere thee
These extract has been taken from Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale. Chanticleer learnt this lesson which the reader should know too.
Chanticleer says that the fox can no longer through his flattery, make him sing and close his eyes. He adds that he who wilfully shuts his eyes when he should keen them open, should never be allowed by God to prosper.
2. Wommennes conseils been ful ofte colde
Wommennes consel broghte us first to wo,
And made Adam fro Paradys to go.
These extract has been taken from Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale. Here the poet comments upon woman's consel.
Woman 's counsels are often fatal enough. The advice given by women very often leads to grievous consequences. A woman's counsel brought us first to grief and made Adam depart from paradise when he perfectly happy and comfortable.
In fact , the poet wants to indicate Chanticleer's folly, who took advice of his wife and that advice leads him to his sorrow.
