CAXTON'S TEXT.

[75]

Go lytyl Io[=h]n / and who doth you appose

[Sidenote: Whoever questions you,]

Sayng your quayer / kepe non accordance

Telle hym as yet / neyther in ryme ne prose 521

Ye ben expert / praye hym of suffra[=n]ce

[Sidenote: say you are not yet up in rime or prose.]

Chyldren muste be / of chyldly gouerna[=n]ce

And also they muste entretyd_e_ be

With esy thing / and not with subtylte 525

[76]

Go lytil quayer / submytte you euery where

Vnder correct_i_on of benyuolence

[Sidenote: Little book, I submit you to correction:]

And where enuye is / loke ye come not there 528

[Sidenote: but go not where envy is.]

For ony thing_e_ / kepe your tretye thens

Enuye is ful of froward reprehens

And how to hurte / lyeth euer in a wayte

Kepe your quayer / that it be not ther bayte 532

Explicit the book of curtesye.
