THE ORIEL TEXT.

[21]

And yit in Aventure ye, if the caase require,
Ye most speke as hit may doo percace;
[Sidenote 1: MS. precace.]
Seuen condic_i_ons obserue as ye shall hire, 143
Avise you well what ye sey and in what place,
Of whom, and to whom, in your_e_ mynde compace;
Howe ye shall speke, and whan, taketh good hede,
This couns_e_illeth the wyse man wyth-outen drede.

[22]

A wayte, my childe, ye haue you manerly,
Whan at your_e_ mete ye sittyn at your_e_ table;
In euery pres, in euery company, 150
Disposeth you to be so componable,
That men may you reporte for comendable;
For tristeth well, vppon your_e_ bering
Men woll you blame or yeven you preysing. 154
