With whatso man, both far and nigh,
Thee falls to go, look thou be sly[[206]]
To ask his name, and which he be,
Whither he will: keep well these three.
With friars on pilgrimage if that thou go
What they will observe, will thou also.
When at night thou take thy rest,
And bide the day as true man’s guest,
In never house where a red man[[206]] be,
Nor woman of the same colour certainly,
