If he be come of great kindred,

Go not before though thou be bid;

And if that he thy master be,

Go not before for courtesy,

Neither in field, wood nor lawnd,[[202]]

Nor even[[203]] with him, unless he command.

If thou shalt on pilgrimage go,

Be not third fellow, for weal nor woe;

Three oxen[[204]] in plough may never well draw,

Neither by craft, right, nor law.
