Februaries abstract. 
Cut vines and osier, 
plash hedge of enclosier. 
Féed highly thy swan, 
to loue hir good man. 
Nest high I aduise, 
least floud doe arise. 
Land meadow spare, 
there doong is good ware. 
Go strike off the nowles 
of deluing mowles. 
Such hillocks in vaine 
lay leauelled plaine. 
To wet the land, 
let mowle hill stand. 
Poore cattle craue 
some shift to haue. 
Cow little giueth 
that hardly liueth. 
Rid barlie al now, 
cleane out of thy mow. 
Choice séed out drawe, 
saue cattle the strawe. 
To coast man ride 
Lent stuffe to prouide. 
Thus endeth Februaries ab- 
{ Other short remem- 
branes. 
[23 ] Trench medow and redge, 
dike, quickset, and hedge. 
To plots not full,

for thresher still lie. 
Such strawe some saue, 
for thacker to haue. 
[25] Poore cunnie, so bagged,

Plash burrow, set clapper,

Bid hauking adew, 
cast hauke into mew.
