Opis

Excerpt from The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman, Vol. 1 of 2: Edited From a Contemporary Manuscript, With a Historical Introduction, Notes, and a Glossary The poem was given to the world under a name which could not fail to draw the attention of the people. Amid the oppressive injustice of the great and the vices of their idle retainers, the corruptions of the clergy, and the dis honesty which too frequently characterised the dealings of merchants and traders, the simple unsophisticated heart of the ploughman is held forth as the dwelling of virtue and truth. It was the ploughman, and not the pope with his proud hierarchy, who represented on earth the Saviour who had descended into this world as the son of the car penter, who had lived a life of humility, who had wandered on foot or ridden on an ass. While God wandered on earth, says one of the political songs of the beginning of the fourteenth century,' what was the reason that he would not ride? The answer expresses the whole force of the popular sentiment of the age: because he would not have a retinue of greedy attendants by his side, in the shape of grooms and servants, to insult and oppress the peasantry.
