It[[338]] hurteth thy honesty and hindereth thy good name.
A pint at a draught to pour in fast, as one in haste,
Four at a mess is three too many,[[339]] in such I think waste.
Use thy self from excess, both in meat and drink;
And ever keep temperance, whether[[340]] you wake or wink.
Fill not thy mouth too full, lest thou must needs speak,
Nor blow out thy crumbs when thou doëst eat.
Foul not the place with spitting whereas thou doëst sit,
Lest it abhor some to see it when thou hast forgot.
If thou must spit, or blow thy nose, keep it out of sight,
