Kepe the welle ffro synfulle dede,
And care not gretly ffor ryche aray.
A ryght pore man, this is non nay,
Of sympyl astat in clothis rent,
May be bettyr than ryche with garmentes gay,
Oftyn tyme doth kepe this comaundment.
ffor ryche men do shewe oftyntyme pompe and pride,
On halydayes, as oftyn is sene;
Whan pore men passe and go besyde,
At wurthy festys riche men wolle bene.
