Tissattheragāthā  Tissa (3rd)

“Bahū sapatte labhati,  A shaven one wrapped in the outer robe
muṇḍo saṅghāṭipāruto;  gets many enemies
Lābhī annassa pānassa,  when they receive food and drink,
vatthassa sayanassa ca.  clothes and bedding.

Etamādīnavaṁ ñatvā,  Knowing this danger,
sakkāresu mahabbhayaṁ;  this great fear in honors,
Appalābho anavassuto,  a mendicant should wander mindful,
sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti.  with few possessions, not festering.

… Tisso thero ….
