Be careful what you say or tell,
And in your speech advise you well.
Bereave[[52]] ye no man of his tale,
Neither at wine nor at ale.
Now may Christ of his sweet grace,
Give us all both wit and space
This [treatise] well to know and read,
And Heaven at last to have for meed.
Amen, Amen, so may it be.
So say we all for charity!
