(Hay made) away carrie, no longer then tarrie. 3 Who best way titheth, he best way thriueth. 4 Two good hay makers woorth twentie crakers. 5 Let dallops[1] about be mowne and had out. Sée hay doo looke gréene, sée féeld ye rake cléene. 6 Thry fallow I pray thée, least thistles bewray thée. 7 Cut off, good wife, ripe beane with a knife. 8 Ripe hempe out cull, from karle to pull. Let séede hempe growe, till more ye knowe. 9 Drie flax get in, for spinners[2] to spin. Now mowe[3] or pluck thy branke or buck. 10 Some wormewood saue, for March to haue. 11 Mark Physick true, of wormewood and rue.[4] Get grist to the mill, for wanting at will.[E340]
