Look thou keep thee from fire and water.

Be ware and wise how that thou look

Over any brink, well, or brook.

And when thou standest at any schate[[311]]

Be ware and wise that thou catch no stake;

For many child without dread,

Through evil heed is deceived or dead.

Child, keep thy book, cap, and gloves,

And all thing that thee behoves.
