La que es buena es generosa y de ilustre y limpio linaje, de buena vida, mansa, amorosa, pacífica, humilde y bien criada en todo.\nLa que es mala, es vil, plebea y soberbia; al fin, hace obras de macegual; mujer perdida, descuidada y amancebada.
\nLa doncella delicada es de buen linaje y de buenos y honrados padres. La tal, si es buena, es de bue[na]
