If theis be not directid then go thei at aventẏr
¶ Ther be iiij. thynges fuƚƚ harde for to knaw.
Wyche way that thay wiƚƚ drawe.
The first is the wayes of a yong man.
The secunde the cours of a vessayƚƚ in the see.
The thridde of an Edder or a serpent sprent.
The .iiij. of a fowle sittyng on any thyng.
Too wyues in oon hous. too cattys and oon mous:
Too dogges and oon boon: theis shaƚƚ neu̇ accorde ɩ oon̄
Who that mannyth hym with his kynne.
And closith his croofte wyth cheritrees.
Shaƚƚ haue many hegges brokynne.
And also fuƚƚ lyttyƚƚ goode seruyes.
