His help is God’s right hand, when all is truly said.
Now, if an absent saint have such portentous power,
A present Teacher’s honour sure must higher tower.
If for the absent tempting viands are prepared,
For present guests what may not largely be outshared?45
The varlet who to serve his lord is present there,
Must rank before the absentee, for goodly fare.
Thus, having Teacher chosen, be not too thin-skinned,
Nor wishy-washy, to a muddy puddle kinned.
For every buffet, see thou do not umbrage take:
