136 Augusts husbandrie. 
Hop 
manger. 
51 Take soutage or haier (that couers the kell), 
set like to a manger and fastened well: 
With poles vpon crotchis as high as thy brest, 
for sauing and! riddance is husbandrie best. 
Sot: 52 Hops had, the hop poles that are likelie preserue, 
; (from breaking and rotting) againe for to serue: 
And plant ye with alders or willowes a? plot, 
where yeerelie as needeth mo poles may be got. 
eee 53 Some skilfullie drieth their hops on a kell, 
12) Ops. 
and some on a soller, oft turning them well. 
Kell dried will abide, foule weather or faire, 
where drieng and lieng in loft doo dispaire. 
Kéeping 54 Some close them vp drie in a hogshed or fat, 
of hops. 
yet canuas or soutage is better than that: 
By drieng and lieng they quickly be spilt: 
thus much haue I shewed, doo now as thou wilt. 
55 Old fermer is forced long August to make, 
his goodes at more leisure away for to take. 
New fermer he thinketh ech houre a day, 
vntill the old fermer be packing away. 
Thus endeth and holdeth out Augusts husbandrie, 
till Mihelmas Eue.
