Him that thou knows of greater state

Be not his fellow in rest or debate.[[195]]

If thou be bestead[[196]] in strange countrée,

Search out no further than falls to thee;

Nor take no more to do in hand,

Than thou may have worship of all in land.

If thou see any man fall in the street,

Laugh not thereat in dry nor wet;

But help him up with all thy might,

As St. Ambrose[[197]] thee teaches right.
