Of bread slice out fair morsels to put in your pottáge.
Fill it not too full of bread, for it may be to thee reprovable;
Lest thou leave part, then to measure thou art variable.[[330]]
And sup not loud of thy pottage, no time in all thy life.
Dip not thy meat in the salt-cellar, but take it with a knife.
When thou hast eaten thy pottage, do as I shall thee wish;
Wipe clean thy spoon and leave it not in thy dish.
Lay it down before thy trencher, thereof be not afraid;
And take heed who taketh it up, lest it be conveyed.[[331]]
Cut not the best morsel for thyself, leave part behind.
