78 — ¶ Brewing
Brew somewhat for thine,
Else bring vp no swine.
Brewing.
1
Where brewing is needfull, be brewer thy selfe,
what filleth the roofe will helpe furnish the shelfe:
2
In buieng of drinke, by the firkin or pot,
the tallie ariseth, but hog amendes not.1
Well brewed, worth cost,
Ill vsed, halfe lost.
3
One bushell well brewed, outlasteth some twaine,
and saueth both mault, and expences in vaine.2
4
Too new is no profite, too stale is as bad,
drinke dead or else sower makes laborer sad.E438
Remember good Gill,
Take paine with thy swill.
Séething of graines.
5
Seeth grains in more water, while grains be yet hot,
and stirre them in copper, as poredge in pot.
6
Such heating with straw, to haue offall good store,
both pleaseth and easeth, what would ye haue more?
