| Pulsá forés, sí clausæ sint Quum aperítur, transí ostium Et intrá in atrium, clávis claudit seram, iterumque reclúdit Clávus fígitur, pavímentum calcámus Laquear nóbís impendet, fenestræ sunt vitreæ Hypocaustum calefit, cameræ frígent In cistís & arcís abscondimus rés In corbibus portámus Succus nón servátur in saccó |
Knock doors, if they are shut When the door is opened, go out And go into the courtyard, a key locks the door and unlocks it again A nail is fastened, we tread on the floor The roof hangs over us, windows are of glass A hothouse is warmed, chambers are cold We hide things in chests and coffers We carry in baskets Juice is not kept in a bag |

There are beds in a chamber covered with feather-bed We place a pillow under the neck We cover ourselves with coverlets, lying with the face upwards or downwards A chamberpot is for urine and a privy for easing the belly Exrement smells bad We perfume with frankincence We wash the face daily We sweat in a bath We cleanse with napkins He combes hair with a comb Spots are removed with a sponge Sweepings are swept away with brooms |

We put on and off our tunic, doublet, breeches and socks Often it is necessary to put on a cloak and gown Caps and collars, gloves, sandals are for the sake of dignity We strap ourselves with belts, we tie with lace We cover a table with a tablecloth A spoon is for soup and condiments Other foods are cut with a knife Drive away flies with a flyswat Take away the plates Pour into the cup And toast the guests Light a candle, place it into the candlestick Snuff it with snuffers, but not to put it out |
