"Ȝyue þy chylde when he [hyt.] wyl kraue,
And þy whelpe whyl hyt wyl haue,
Line 7240
Þan mayst þou make yn a stounde
A foulë chylde and a feyrë hounde."
So mayst þou be enchesoun
To make þy chylde a glotoun.
Line 7244
A-nouþer vyce ys ȝyt to graunte,
Þat rychë men mochyl haunte,
Þat many one are so daungerous, [Compare the French lines 5811-16.]
And oute of mesure esquaymous,
Line 7248
Þat hys kokë may no day
Greyþë hym hys mete to pay.
Þat me þenkeþ a feble manere;
A vylanye hyt ys to here;
Line 7252
For euery coke wulde, at hys myȝt,

wheþer hyt be lorde or lady,
Me þenkeþ hyt ys a spyce of glotonye.
Line 7256

Ouer mesure þou wuldest þe fyl.
Rerë sopers yn pryuyte,

Line 7260
And þyr ys mochë wastë ynne,
And gadryng of ouþer synne.
Þefte behoueþ þe sumdele þore,
And glotonye algatë more;
Line 7264
And leccherye ys quene or kyng;
For hym ys all þat gaderyng.
Ȝyt are þer ouþer rere sopers,
Line 7267
with men þat seruë knyȝtys and squyers;
For al þe day þan wyl þey be
Before here maysters yn soberte;
But whan here maysters are broght to bedde, [folio 48b:2]
Þan wyl þey fonde þat þey be fedde,
Line 7272
And sytte vp þare wyþ recolage [rycolage.]
