Pick not thy teeth with thy knife.

In no company begin thou strife.

And when thou hast thy pottage done,

Out of thy dish thou put thy spoon.

Nor spit thou not over the table,

Nor thereupon—that is nothing able.[[58]]

Lay not thy elbow nor thy fist

Upon the table whiles thou eat’st.

Bulk[[59]] not, as a bean were in thy throat,

As a carl[[60]] that comes out of a cot.
