Wynnere and Wastoure
Wynnere and Wastoure ("Winner and Waster") is a fragmentary Middle English poem written in alliterative verse sometime around the middle of the 14th century.
==Manuscript==
The poem occurs in a single manuscript, British Library Additional MS. 31042, also called the London Thornton Manuscript. This manuscript was compiled in the mid-15th century by Robert Thornton, a member of the provincial landed gentry of Yorkshire, who seems to have made a collection of instructional, religious and other texts for the use of his family. It is not known where Thornton found the text of ''Wynnere and Wastoure'', which has not survived in any other sources, but the dialect of the poem indicates that it most likely written by someone originating from the north Midlands.
The poem can be dated with some confidence due to its prominent reference to William Shareshull, Chief Justice of the King's Bench, who left the post in 1361 and died in 1370.〔At lines 317-318: "...Scharshull itwiste /
That saide I prikkede with powere his pese to distourbe" ("...and Shareshull with them / That said I rode out with power to disturb his peace")〕 It also appears to make reference to the Treason Act 1351 and the Statute of Labourers 1351; it is therefore generally thought to have been written sometime in the 1350s.〔Ginsberg, W. (Wynnere and Wastoure and The Parlement of the Thre Ages )〕
