Leaue wadling about, 
till arbor be out. 
46 Who now sowes otes, 
gets gold and grotes. 
Who sowes in May 
gets little that way. 
47 Go breake vp land, 
get mattock in hand, 
Stub roote so tough, 
for breaking of plough. 
48 What greater crime 
then losse of time ? 
49' Lay land or? lease 
breake vp if ye please. 
But fallow not yet, 
that hast any wit. 
50’ Where drink ye sowe, 
good tilth bestowe. 
31 Small profit is found, 
by péeling of ground. 
52 Land past the best 
cast vp to® rest.
