envy on side

This is the whole stanza or moral teaching shown sideways to give you a bigger image of the text.

That long word beginning with 'c' is couuoiteux, read the second 'u' as a modern 'v'. The word means 'covetous' in modern English, although we might say 'envious' nowadays.

Although the image is small please try to transcribe the first lines of verse.
