The brutish stork[[355]] and elephant, yea, and the wauling[[356]] cat.
If thou perforce do chance to sneeze, then backwards turn away
From presence of the company wherein thou art to stay.
Thy cheeks with shamefaced modesty dipped in Dame Nature’s dye,
Not counterfeit nor pufféd out—observe it carefully.
Keep close thy mouth, for why? Thy breath may hap to give offence,
And other worse may be repaid for further recompense.
Nor put thy lips out like a fool, as thou would’st kiss a horse,
When thou before thy betters art, and what is ten times worse,
To gape in such unseemly sort, with ugly, gaping mouth,
