Dicing is very mother of leasings, (And of deceit and cursed for swearings;) Blasphemy of God, manslaughter, and wast also, *Of battle, of naughtiness, and other moe, It is a reproof and contrary to honour, uFor to behold a common Dicer. And ever the higher he is in estate, The more he is holden desolate. *If thou a Prince doest use hazardry, ⟨p. 228⟩In all governance and policy; He is by a common opinion, Holden less in reputation. Lords might find other manner of play, Honest enough to drive the day away.
