If thy meat be of great price,

Beware of it, or thou art not wise.

Speak no word, nor still nor stark,[[61]]

And honour and courtesy look thou work.[[62]]

And at the table look thou make good cheer;

Look thou whisper not in no man’s ear.

With thy fingers[[62]] thou touch and taste

Thy meat, and look thou do no waste.

Look thou laugh not neither grin;

And with much speech thou may’st do sin.
