Don’t be too loving or angry, bold or busy, courteous or cruel or cowardly, and don’t drink too often, or be too lofty or anxious, but friendly of cheer.
Hate jealousy, be not too hasty or daring; joke not too oft; ware knaves’ tricks.
Don’t be too grudging or too liberal, too meddling, too particular, new-fangled, or too daring.
Hate oaths and flattery.
Please well thy master.
