Stirraunt fyngurs toos when he shalle speke.

Be stabulle of chere and sumwhat lyȝt,

Ne ouer alle wayue þou not thy syȝt;

¶ Gase not on walles with þy neghe[12],

Fyr ne negh, logh ne heghe;

Let not þe post be-cum þy staf,

Lest þou be callet a dotet daf;

Ne delf þou neuer nose thyrle

With thombe ne fyngur, as ȝong gyrle;

¶ Rob not þy arme ne noȝt hit claw,
