Feb, fill the dike Forgotten month past, 
With what thon dost like.! Doe now at the last. 
I HO laieth on doong er he laieth on plow, 
such husbandrie vseth as thrift doth alow. 
One month er ye spred it, so still let it stand, 
er euer to plow it, ye take it in hand. 
2 Place doong heape a low by the furrough along, 
where water all winter time did it such wrong. 
So make ye the land to be lustie and fat, 
and corne thereon sowen to be better for that. 
3 Go plow in the stubble, for now is the season, 
for sowing of fitchis, of beanes, and of peason. 
Sowe runciuals timelie, and all that be gray, 
but sowe not the white till S. Gregories day.”
