Toward thy sovereign do reverence.
Play with no knife—take heed to my sentence.
At meat and at supper keep thee still and soft;
Eke to and fro move not thy feet too oft.
Drop not thy breast with stew[[77]] and other pottáge,
Bring no unscoured knives unto the table;
Fill not thy spoon lest in the carriáge
It spill aside, which were not commendáble.
Be quick and ready, meek and serviceáble,
Well awaiting to fulfil anon
