Cam. Expleycyt the Boke of cortesey.
[From the Ashmolean MS. 61 (Bodleian Library), ab. 1500 A.D., fol. 20.]
Whoever will thrive, must be courteous, and begin in his youth.
Who so euer wylle thryue or the,
Muste vertus lerne, & curtas be;
Fore who in ȝowthe no vertus vsythe,
Yn Age All men hym refusythe.
