6 No chaffe in bin, 
makes horse looke thin. 
7 Sowe hastings now,

10 What losse, what sturs, 
through rauening curs.

1z Set garlike and pease, 
saint Edmond to please. 
13 When raine takes place, 
to threshing apace. 
14 Mad braine, too rough, 
marres all at plough. 
With flaile and whips, 
fat hen short skips. 
15 Some threshing by taske, 
will steale and not aske: 
Such thresher at night 
walkes seldom home light. 
Some corne away lag 
in bottle and bag. 
Some steales, for a iest, 
egges out of the nest.
