Look thy hands be washéd clean,

That no filth on thy nails be seen.

Take thou no meat till grace be said,

And till thou see all things arrayed.[[55]]

Look, my son, that thou not sit,

Till the ruler of the house thee bid.

And at thy meat, in the beginning,

Look on poor men that thou think;[[56]]

For the full stomach ever faileth

To understand what the hungry aileth.
