ever hold it to your nose.If in your food should chance to beWhat cant be eat conveniently,Such as small bones, or stones of fruit,Which will not with digestion suit.Remove them from your mouth away.Or on your plate with silence lay.Throw not a morsel on the floor —Grease not the cloth, or napkin… … When drinking, do not stare around,Nor make a harsh and gurghng soundoAnd often drinking, do not seek.Fill not your mouth before you speak.
