John Gower

John Gower shooting the world, a sphere of earth, air, and water (from a manuscript of his works ca. 1400).
The text reads:
Ad mundum mitto mea iacula dumque sagitto
At ubi iustus erit nulla sagitta ferit
Sed male viventes hos vulnero transgredientes
Conscius ergo sibi se speculetur ibi (As I shoot I send at the world these my boltsAnd where the just shall be no arrow may hitBut those living wicked lives, the transgressors I aim to harmThus may in this work those conscious amongst you observe themselves as they truly are) John Gower (; c. 1330 – October 1408) was an English poet, a contemporary of William Langland and the Pearl Poet, and a personal friend of Geoffrey Chaucer. He is remembered primarily for three major works—the ''Mirour de l'Omme'', ''Vox Clamantis'', and ''Confessio Amantis—''three long poems written in French, Latin, and English respectively, which are united by common moral and political themes.
