And who shall use it, trust him not—he deals with policy.

And in thy sitting use a mean, as may become thee well,

Not straddling, no, nor tottering, and dangling like a bell.

Observe in courtesy to take a rule of decent kind:

Bend not thy body too far forth, nor back thy leg behind.

In going, keep a decent gait, not feigning lame or broken,

For that doth seem but wantonness, and foolishness betoken.

Let thy apparel not exceed to pass for sumptuous cost,

Nor altogether be too base, for so thy credit’s lost.
