¶ The Inholders posie.[1]
[1] At meales my friend who vitleth here, and sitteth with his host, Shall both be sure of better chere, and scape with lesser cost.[E469] [2] But he that will attendance haue, a chamber by himselfe, Must more regard what pains do craue than passe of worldly pelfe. [3] Let no man looke to purchase linne[E470] with pinching by the waie, But laie before he takes his Inne to make his purse to paie. [4] For nothing paie and nothing praie, in Inne it is the gise, Where no point gain, there no point pain, think this if you be wise. [5] For toiling much and spoiling more, great charge smal gains or none, Soone sets thine host at needams shore,[2][E471] to craue the beggers bone. [6] Foreséeing this, come day or night, take vp what place ye please. Vse mine as thine, let fortune spight, and boldly take thine ease.
