Rhyme Scheme: A BCDEAAFGAHII| Galenus saw a fool hanging on with his hands to the collar of a learned man and insulting him whereon he said If he were learned he would not have come to this pass with an ignorant man | A |
| - | |
| Two wise men do not contend and quarrel | B |
| Nor does a scholar fight with a contemptible fellow | C |
| If an ignorant man in his rudeness speaks harshly | D |
| An intelligent man tenderly reconciles his heart | E |
| Two pious men keep a hair between them untorn | A |
| And so does a mild with a headstrong man | A |
| If however both sides are fools | F |
| If there be a chain they will snap it | G |
| An ill humoured man insulted someone | A |
| He bore it and replied O man of happy issue | H |
| I am worse than thou canst say that I am | I |
| Because I know thou art not aware of my faults as I am | I |
