Los mancebos que se criaban en la casa de telpuchcalli tenían cargo de barrer y limpiar la casa. Y nadie bebía vino, mas solamente los que eran ya viejos bebían el vino muy secretamente, y bebían poco. No se enborrachaban. Y si parecía un mancebo borracho públicamente, o si le topaban con él o le vían caído en la calle, o iba cantando, o estaba acompañado con los otros borrachos, este tal, si era macegual, castigábanle dándole de palos hasta matarle, o le daban garrote delante de todos los mancebos juntados porque tomasen exemplo y miedo de no emborracharse. Y si era noble el que se emborrachaba, dábanle garrote secretamente.
\nY estos mancebos tenían sus amigas, cada dos o tres. La una tenían en su casa y las otras estaban en sus casas. Y quien quería salir de la casa de telpuchcalli, y dexar la conversación de los mancebos, pagaba a los maestros de los mancebos diez o veinte mantas gran[des]
