Sidi Mahtrow translation That fole that suffreth his Chylde for to offende Wythout rebkynge, blame, and correccion And hym nat exhorteth, hymselfe to amende. Of suche fawtes as by hym ar done. Shal it sore repent: god wote howe sone For oft the faders foly, fauour, and neglygence Causeth the Chylde for to fall to great offence. Alexander Barclay,1509, translation of Brant's ship of fools That fool that suffers (allows) his child to offend Without rebuking, blame and correction And he does not urge, himself to amend Of such faults as by him are done Shall he sincerely regret: as God knows For often the father's folly, favor, and negligence Cause the Child to be involved in great offense. Mahtrow's interpretation of Barclay's translation
