23 Shift bore (for il aire) as best ye do thinke, 
and twise a day giue him fresh vittle and drinke: 
And diligent Cislye, my dayrie good wench, 
make cleanly his cabben, for measling and stench. 
24. Now pluck vp thy hempe, and go beat out the seed, cones 
oO winter 
and afterward water it as ye see need: hempe. 
But not in the riuer where cattle should drinke, 
for poisoning them and the people with stinke.

with strawbery rootes, of the best to be got: EE OHS Ese 
Such growing abroade, among thornes in the wood, 
wel chosen and picked prooue excellent good. 
27 The Barbery, Respis, and Goosebery too, enetoe 
looke now to be planted as other things doo: 
The Goosebery, Respis, and Roses, al three, 
with Strawberies vnder them trimly agree. 
28 To gather some mast, it shal stand thee vpon, Gathering

which being wel ringled the better do feede: 
Though yong with their elders wil lightly keepe best, 
yet spare not to ringle both great and the rest.
