Book 1, Line 45 by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (English)

(ll. 536-563) Then put on, as I bid you, a soft coat and a tunic to the feet to shield your body,-and you should weave thick woof on thin warp. In this clothe yourself so that your hair may keep still and not bristle and stand upon end all over your body.
