Nothing be finished, nothing begun.
Then mark thou with diligence being so provided,
What shall at school be said or decided.
Let not thy thoughts go wandering about,
And not minding thy practice, abroad for to scout:
And answer with shamefastness what is required,
For modesty in youth is chiefly desired.
Deserve not correction, as near as thou mayest,
Nor to thy schoolmaster give any distaste,
Nor yet thy companions, or school-fellows kind:
