16 Otes, barlie and pease, harrow after you sowe,' 
for rie harrow first, as alreadie ye knowe. 
Leaue wheat little clod, for to couer the head, 
that after a frost, it may out and go spread. 
17° If clod in thy wheat wil not breake with the frost,

But see when ye rowle it, the weather be drie, 
or else it were better vnrowled to lie. 
q 18 In March and in April,’ from morning to night, 
EORIQUEES: in sowing and setting, good huswiues delight: 
To haue in a garden, or other like plot, 
to turn vp their house, and to furnish their pot. 
q 19 The nature of flowers dame Physick doth shew, 
she teacheth them all to be knowne to a few. 
To set or to sowe, or else sowne to remoue, 
how that should be practised, learne if ye loue. 
To know 20 Land falling or lieng full South or southwest, 
iat n for profit by tillage is lightly the best. 
So garden with orchard and hopyard I finde, 
that want the like benefit, growe out of kinde. 
q 21 If field to beare corne a good tillage doth craue, 
what thinke ye of garden, what garden would haue ? 
In field without cost be assured of weedes, 
in garden be suer thou loosest thy seedes. 
q 22 At spring (for the sommer) sowe garden ye shall, 
at haruest (for winter) or sowe not at all. 
Oft digging, remoouing, and weeding (ye see), 
makes herbe the more holesome and greater to bee.
