24 — ¶ A Digression to Hospitalitie1
Chap. 22
Leaue husbandrie sleeping a while ye must doo,
to learne of housekeeping a lesson or twoo.
What euer is sent thee by trauell and paine,
a time there is lent thee to rendrit againe.
Although ye defend it, vnspent for to bee,
another shall spend it, no thanke vnto thee.
How euer we clime, to accomplish the mind,
we haue but a time thereof profit to find.
Notes
1 Chap. 22 is wanting in 1573 (M). In 1577 it is printed in twice the number of lines.
