If ye be set at a gentleman’s board,
Look thou be hend[[170]] and little of word.
Pare thy bread and carve in two
The overcrust from the nether through.
In four thou cut the overdole,[[171]]
Set them together as it were whole,
After, cut the nether crust in three,
And turn it down—learn this of me.
And set thy trencher thee before,
And sit upright for any sore.
