1 Good husbandmen must moile & toile, to laie to liue by laboured feeld: Their wiues at home must keepe such coile,[E18] as their like actes may profit yeeld. For well they knowe, as shaft from bowe, or chalke from snowe, A good round rent their Lords they giue, and must keepe touch in all their paie: With credit crackt else for to liue, or trust to legs and run awaie. Ceres, Goddesse of husbandry. 2 Though fence well kept is one good point, and tilth well done, in season due; Yet needing salue in time to annoint, is all in all and needfull true: As for the rest, thus thinke I best, as friend doth gest, With hand in hand to leade thee foorth to Ceres campe, there to behold A thousand things as richlie woorth, as any pearle is woorthie gold.
