Anyone who has been putting off work until they got a round tuit now has no excuse for further procrastination.
Nevertheless, the proverb also relates to the narrator's intervention at the beginning of the text in which he explains that in marrying nobles to vilains: Ainsi bons lignaiges aville, Et li chastelain et li conte Declinent tuit et vont a honte, Se marient bas por avoir; Si en doivent grant honte avoir Et grant domaige, si ont il: Li chevalier mauvais et vill Et coart issent de tel gent, Qui couvoitent or et argent Plus qu'il ne font chevalerie, Ainsi est noblece perie.
