Accompany not with riotous drinkers1 and eaters, for such shall come to poverty, ⟨image 93⟩and such sluggish sleepers shall go all to rag ged. Where is woe? Where is wailing? where is strife? where are traps laid? where are wounds without a cause? where are bloody eyes? Do not all these things chance unto them, that sit alway at the wine, and give their minds wholly to gulling and glossing.

Woe be to you that rise up early to give1 your selves to drunkenness, and set all your minds so on drinking, that ye sit sweating thereat until it be night. The harp, the Lute, the Tabor, the droumslade, the trumpet, the shawm, and plenty of wine are at their feasts: but the works of the Lord do ye not behold, neither consider ye the works of his hand.
