Be quyke and redy, meke and seruisable,

Wele awaityng to fulfille anone

What that thy souerayne comav[n]dithe the to be done.

¶ And whereso euer that thow dyne or soupe,

Of gentilesse take salt withe thy knyf;

And be wele ware thow blow nat in the cuppe.

Reuerence thy felawe, gynne withe hym no stryf;

Be thy powere kepe pees al thy lyf.

Interrupt nat, where so thow wende,

None other mans tale, til he have made an ende;
