Lessons for waiting seruants.
1
One diligent seruiture, skilfull to waight,more comlieth thy table, than other some eight,
That stand for to listen, or gasing about:
not minding their dutie, within nor without.
2
Such waiter is fautie, that standeth so by,vnmindfull of seruice, forgetting his ey.
If maister to such, giue a bone for to gnaw:
he doth but his office; to teach such a daw.
[78]
3
Such seruiture also, deserueth a check,that runneth out [illeg.], with meat in his beck.
Such rauening puttocks, for vittles so trim:
would haue a good maister, to puttock with him.
4
Who daily can suffer, or else can afoord,his meat so vp [illeg.], that comes from his boord?
So tossed with cormorants, here and there some:
and others to want it, that orderlie come?
5
Good seruiture waieth, (once dinner begon,)what asketh attendance, and what to be don.
So purchasing maister, a praise with the best:
gets praise to himselfe, both of maister and gest.
