6 The Commodities of Husbandrie

Chap. 6

1
    Let house haue to fill her,
    Let land haue to till her.
No dwellers, what profiteth house for to stand?
What goodnes, vnoccupied, bringeth the land?

2
    No labor no bread,
    No host we be dead.
No husbandry vsed, how soone shall we sterue?

3
    Ill father no gift,
    No knowledge no thrift.
The father an vnthrift, what hope to the sonne?
The ruler vnskilfull, how quickly vndonne?
