[From the reprint by Bensley & Sons (in 1817) of "The Booke of Demeanor from Small Poems ent.i.tled _The Schoole of Vertue_ by Richard Weste," 1619, 12mo.]
To the Reader.
R Ightly conceiue me, and obserue me well, I Doe what heere is done for Childrens good, C Hrist in his Gospell (as S. Marke doth tell) H Ath not forbidden Children, nor withstood A Ny that should but aske the ready way, R Egarding Children, not to say them nay.
D Irecting all that came, how faith should be,
W Hat they should crave of G.o.ds high Majestie, E Ven Salvation, through their faithful Prayer, S Ending their contemplations into the ayre, T O his high throne, whose love so guide us all E Ven to the end we neuer cease to call.
[N.B.--The stops and sidenotes are those of the original, but that has no Headlines.]
The Booke of
Demeanor.
[Sidenote: Serving at the table.]
Stand straight vpright, and both thy feet together closely standing, Be sure on't, ever let thine eye be still at thy commanding. 4
Observe that nothing wanting be which should be on the bord.
[Sidenote: Silence]
Vnlesse a question moved be, be carefull: not a word. 8
[Sidenote: Serving or filling drinke.]
If thou doe give or fill the drinke, with duty set it downe, And take it backe with manlike cheere not like a rusticke Lowne. 12
[Sidenote: [p. 6.]]
[Sidenote: If on an errand.]
If on an errand thou be sent, make haste and doe not stay, When all have done, observe the time, serve G.o.d and take away. 16
[Sidenote: To schoole againe.]
When thou hast done and dined well, remember thou repaire To schoole againe with carefulnesse, be that thy cheefest care. 20
And marke what shall be read to thee, or given thee to learne, That apprehend as neere as may be, wisdome so doth warne. 24
With stedfast eye and carefull eare, remember every word Thy Schoole master shall speake to thee, as memory shall afford. 28
[Sidenote: [p. 7.]]
[Sidenote: To use the browes.]
Let not thy browes be backward drawn, it is a signe of pride, Exalt them not, it shewes a hart most arrogant beside. 32
