Dispose þou þee aftir my doctryne—
To al nortur þi corage to encline.
First while þou spekist, be not richelees;
Kepe boþe fyngir and hond stille in pees;
Be symple in cheer; caste not þi looke a-side,
gase not about, turnynge þi siȝt oueral.
aȝen þe post lete not þi bak abide,
neiþer make þi myrrour also of þe wal.
Pike not pi nose; & moost in especial
be weel waar, sette her-on þi þouȝt,
