==Prediction of the Peasants' Revolt==
When Wickert was attempting to date ''Vox Clamantis'' Books Two to Seven, she found two passages which predict the revolt. One is ''Mirour''{{rp|at=lines 26485-26496}} which uses the metaphor of the stinging nettle to predict the impending catastrophe. The second is the final couplet of ''Vox Clamantis'' Book Five Chapter 10.{{rp|at=line V.563-564}} This predicts trouble in a short time.<ref name=Wickert/>{{rp|18–19}} Gower's warnings and call for reform were ignored both before and after the events of 1381.<ref name=Wickert/>{{rp|51–52}}
