In hall or bower, bid “God be here!”

Look thou cast to no man’s dog,

With staff nor stone at horse nor hog.

Look that thou not scorn nor jape

Neither with man, maiden nor ape.

Let no man of thee make plaint.

Swear not by God, neither by saint.

Look thou be courteous standing at meat,

And that men giveth thee, take and eat.

And look thou neither cry nor crave,
