Thenke what thou wilt, but speke ay with the leeste;

Avyse thee wel who stondeth thee besyde;[3]

Let not thyne herte beo with thy tonge bewryde;

Trust not to muche in fayre visayginge,

For peynted cheere shapeth efft to stynge.[4]

Byholde thy selff, or that thou other deme;

Ne beo not glad whane other done amyss;[5]

Sey never al that which wolde the sothe seme,[6] 10

Thou maist not wite what thy fortune is:[7]

For there is no wight on lyve iwyss[8]
