_Opent_ den mond _niet te _Open not_ your mouth
wyt_ als _gy eét_. _too wide_ when _ye
eat_.
The reason for this precept is obvious; the Dutch Chesterfield has,
however, thought it necessary to tell his countrymen the _why_ and
_wherefore_ of it.
Vraegt _niet te drinken Ask _not_ (for something)
terwyl gy zup eét; wagt _to drink_ the _while
tot dat gy iet_ anders ye eat soup; wait_ till
_geëéten hebt_. _that ye somewhat
(aught)_ else _have
eaten_.
