As the partridge that sitteth on 'eggs' which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
A partriche nurschide tho thingis whiche sche bredde not; he made richessis, and not in doom; in þe myddis of hise daies he schal forsake tho, and in hise laste tyme he schal be vnwijs.
