And where-so-euere þou be to digne or to suppe,

Of gentilnes take salt with þi knyf,

And be weel waar þou blowe not in þe cuppe.

Reuerence þi felawis; bigynne with hem no strijf;

To þi power kepe pees al þi lijf.

Intrippe no man where so þat þou wende,

No man in his tale, til he haue maade an eende.

¶ With þi fyngris marke not þi tale;

be weel avysid, & nameli in tendir age,

To drinke mesurabli boþe wiyn & ale.
