Discover[[49]] not your own [good] deed,
Neither for mirth, nor yet for meed.[[50]]
Gentle of speech—ye have your will;
But foul of speech—ye fare full ill.
If ye follow a worthier man,
Than ye yourself well reckon can,
Let your right shoulder follow his back,[[51]]
For that is nurture ye must not lack.
When he speaks, then hold you still;
When he has done, say then your will.
