Prick of Conscience
The Prick of Conscience is a Middle English poem dating from the first half of the fourteenth century promoting penitential reflection. It is, in terms of the number of surviving manuscripts, the best attested poem in Middle English, with over 130 manuscripts. It was attributed to Richard Rolle in some manuscripts, but contemporary scholars consider the poem anonymous.
