That thou the better man may be.

Child, I warn thee in all wise,

That thou tell truth and make no lies.

Child, be not froward, be not proud,

But hold up thy head and speak aloud;

And when any man speaketh to thee

Doff thy hood and bow thy knee.

And wash thy hands and thy face,

And be courteous in every place.

And when thou comest where is good cheer
