Whosoever takes that meat to bear,

Shall not be so hardy the coverture to rear,

For cold nor hot, I warn you all,

For suspicion of treason, as may befall.

If the silver dish be over hot,

A subtlety I will that thou wot:

Take the bread carven[[300]] and lay between,

And keep thee well it be not seen;

I teach it for no courtesy,

But for thine ease[[301]]
