2252 Is no thyng proude, who takith hede;
2253 ffor fresh array, as men may see,
2254 Without pride may ofte be.
2255 'Mayntene thy silf aftir thi rent,

2258 A ma amendith in mych thyng.
2259 And loke alwey that they be shape,
2260 What garnement that thou shalt make,
2261 Of hym that can best do,
2262 With all that pteyneth therto.
2263 Poyntis and sleves be well sittande,
2264 Right and streght on the hande.

2266 Loke at the leest thou have a paire;

2268 That these ruyde may uttirly

2272 Of silk; and alwey with good chere
2273 Thou yeve, if thou have richesse;
2274 And if thou have nought, spende the lesse.
