See that your hands are clean, and your knife sharp.

Let worthier men help themselves before you eat.

Don’t clutch at the best bit.

Keep your hands from dirtying the cloth, and don’t wipe your nose on it, or dip too deep in your cup.

Have no meat in your mouth when you drink or speak; and stop talking when your neighbour is drinking.

Scorn and reprove no man.

Keep your fingers from what would bring you to grief.

Among ladies, look, don’t talk.

Don’t laugh loud, or riot with ribalds.

Don’t repeat what you hear.
