¶ Of brede I-byten no soppis that thow make;
In ale nor wyne withe hande leve no fattenes;
Withe mowthe enbrewed thy cuppe thow nat take;
Enbrewe no napery for no rekelesnes;
For to souppe [loude] is agenst gentiles;
[N]euer at mete begynne thow nat stryf;
Thi tethe also thow pike nat withe no knyf.
