Keep still foot and hand; at meat begin ye no strife.
Wipe thy mouth when thou shalt drink ale or wine
On thy napkin only; and see all things be clean.
Blow not your nose in the napkin where ye wipe your hand;
Cleanse it in your handkerchief, then pass ye not your band.[[337]]
With your napkin you may oft wipe your mouth clean;
Something thereon will cleave that cannot be seen.
Fill not thy trencher with morsels great and large;
With much meat fill not thy mouth like a barge.
Temper thyself with drink, so keep thee from blame;
