Explicit Tractus Urbanitatis.
THE LITTLE CHILDREN’S LITTLE BOOK
LITTLE children, draw ye near
And learn the courtesy written here;
For clerks that well the Seven Arts know,[[53]]
Say Courtesy came to earth below,
When Gabriel hailed Our Lady by name,
And Elizabeth to Mary came.[[53]]
All virtues are closed[[54]] in courtesy,
And vices all in villainy.[[53]]
