For an thou be not whole of body, thy breath is corruptíble.[[343]]
Cast not thy bones under the table, nor none do thou knack.[[344]]
Stretch thee not at the table, nor lean forth thy back.
Afore dinner or after, with thy knife score[[345]] not the board;
Such toys are not commendable, trust me at a word.
Lean not on the board when your master is thereat;
For then will your sovereign think in you checkmate.[[346]]
Be not ashamed to eat the meat which is set before thee;
Mannerly for to take it, that agreeth well with courtesy.
Cast not thine eyes to and fro, as one that were full of toys;
