Farr from court and farr from care.
Poore folke fare the best.
Poorely sit and richly warme.
Better sit still than rise and fall.

Farr from court and farr from care.
Poore folke fare the best.
Poorely sit and richly warme.
Better sit still than rise and fall.
Not too high for the pie, not too low for the crow
Measure is a treasure▪
Not Jack out of doores nor yet gentleman.
Canterbury is the highe•• rack, but Winchester's the better manger.
A sm••ll packe becomes a little pedler.
Fire and water be good servants, but had ma¦sters.
Measure is a merry meane —
Travail but toile not.
