Meat nor drink look thou not spill,
But set it down, both fair and still.
Keep thy cloth clean thee beforn,
And bear thee so thou have no scorn.
Bite not thy meat, but carve it clean,
Be well aware no drop be seen.[[63]]
When thou eatest gape not too wide,
That thy mouth be seen on ilk a side.
And son, beware, I rede, of one thing:
Blow neither in thy meat nor in thy drink.
