¶ With mete ne bere þy knyfe to mowthe,

Wheþer þou be sett be strong or couthe;

Ne with þo borde clothe þi tethe þou wype,

Ne þy nyen þat rennen rede, as may betyde.

¶ Yf þou sitt by a ryȝht good mañ,

Þis lessoñ loke þou þenke apoñ:

Vndur his theȝghe þy kne not pit,

Þou ar fulle lewed yf þou dose hit.

¶ Ne bacwarde sittande gyf noȝt þy cupe,

Noþer to drynke, noþer to suppe;
