That stondeth sure, ther fore I rede beware,[9]

And looke aboute for stumbling in the snare.

Reporte not muche on other mennes sawe;[10]

Be ay adrad to here a wicked fame;[11]

For man shal dye by dome of goddes lawe,

That here enpeyreth any mannes name.[12]

Avyse thee wel ther fore or thow attame[13]

Suche as thou mayst never revoke ageyn;[14] 20

A good name leste is leste for ay certain.[15]

Pley not with pecus ne ffawvel to thy feere;[16]
