1 No season to hedge, get béetle and wedge. Cleaue logs now all, for kitchen and hall. 2 Dull working tooles soone courage cooles. 3 Leaue off tittle tattle, and looke to thy cattle. Serue yoong poore elues alone by themselues. 4 Warme barth for neate, woorth halfe their meate. The elder that nurteth the yonger soone hurteth. 5 Howse cow that is old, while winter doth hold. 6 Out once in a day, to drinke and to play. 7 Get trustie to serue, least cattle doo sterue. And such as in déede may helpe at a néede. 8 Obserue this law, in seruing out straw. 9 In walking about, good forke spie out. 10 At full and at change, spring tides are strange. If doubt ye fray, driue cattle away. 11 Dank ling forgot will quickly rot. 12 Here learne and trie to turne it and drie. 13 Now stocks remooue, that Orchards looue. 14 Set stock to growe too thick nor too lowe. Set now, as they com, both cherie[1] and plom. 15 Shéepe, hog, and ill beast, bids stock to ill feast.[2] 16 At Christmas is good to let thy horse blood. 17 Mark here what rable of euils in stable. 18 Mixe well (old gaffe) horse corne with chaffe. Let Jack nor Gill fetch corne at will. 19[3] Some countries gift to make hard shift. Some cattle well fare with fitches and tare. Fitches and tares be Norfolke wares. 20 Tares threshed with skill bestowe as yée will. 21 Hide strawberies, wife, to saue their life. 22 Knot, border, and all, now couer ye shall. 23 Helpe bées, sweet conie, with licour and honie. 24 Get campers a ball, to campe therewithall.

[25] Let Christmas spie yard cleane to lie. No labour, no sweate, go labour for heate. Féede dooues, but kill not, if stroy them ye will not. Fat hog or ye kill it, or else ye doo spill it. [26] Put oxe in stall, er oxe doo fall. Who séetheth hir graines, hath profit for paines. Rid garden of mallow, plant willow and sallow. [27] Let bore life render, sée brawne sod tender, For wife, fruit bie, for Christmas pie. Ill bread and ill drinke, makes many ill thinke. Both meate and cost ill dressed halfe lost. [28] Who hath wherewithall, may chéere when he shall: But charged man, must chéere as he can.
