                    De Mesure hayes,
                  
                    De petit seieȝ lees,
                  
                    Kar ceo est mesure;
                  
                    La nef ke veut sor le vnde
                  
                    Ke guerres nest parfounde,
                  
                    Plus est enseure.

                
                  ¶ To make murþe of luitel þing;
                  Line 305 
                
                  To muche, þou hit fleo;
                
                  Schip is more siker in luitel water
                
                  Þen in þe deope séé.
